Fly, Dumbo! Fly!
Dumbo is Tim Burton's first live-action, recreated 1941 Disney classic. I love Disney, I have watched every movie and I cried on each one. Dumbo, Bambi, and The Lion King probably the hardest movies to watch because they are so sad! So, do I survive this movie? Barely!
This movie about the big-eared baby elephant is probably the most adorable movie that Tim Burton ever made. If we looked back, his visionary movies went into darkness - to name a few: Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, and many more. This animated classic felt like the combination of the sweetness and adorableness of Disney mixed with the dark, twisted fashion of Burton misfit.
Storyline wise, Dumbo is pretty easy to follow even for younger viewers. If you haven't watched the original, you'll still be able to follow the movie. You did not miss anything. Started with the Medici circus lead by Max Medici (Danny DeVito) which was struggling to keep the audiences came back until Jumbo, the mama elephant gave birth to Dumbo. Then it went along to Dumbo joined the circus and the circus was hired by an entrepreneur named V.A Vandevere (Michael Keaton). I wouldn't talk much about the story, this is not a spoiler review.
