 Hollywood's legendary El Capitan Theatre gets its 80th anniversary off to a flying start with a special two- week engagement of Disney's Oscar(R)-winning animated classic, "Dumbo," from May 25th - June 7th, it was announced today (5/8/06) by Lylle Breier, senior vice president of worldwide special events for Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. "Dumbo" is celebrating its 65th birthday this year, and a new deluxe "Big Top Edition" DVD release of the film is scheduled for June 6th.
