On the one hand I feel like this isn’t as subversive as the movies Tim Burton used to make. On the other, well, it’s the year Disney bought Fox and he’s made a Disney film about an evil theme park tycoon buying up smaller firms just to integrate their key IP and lay off all the other staff.
Okay but not great. No emotion to it like the original and it didn't feel the same without the crows :(
Also when Dumbo is pulling switches like mad at the end you see the roller coasters stop in the middle of the ride most likely with people on board... Thinking they probably didn't have time to rescue those people before the entire circus went up in flames within minutes of that LoL
Loved Alan Arkin’s urge to cash his check and go home.
Looks like everybody forgot that the original is a weird/odd/crazy movie from beginning to end. They took this way too seriously, so when the silly moments happened they felt out of place.
Also
the circus at the end would have tanked and Dumbo probably would have been rejected by the wild elephants
I haven't watched the original in so long I could not tell you how much it was changed but ignoring that its a very lovely family film with a great cast and acting.

Not a fan of Disney’s revisionism.

Eva Green in IMAX is worth the free ticket my friend gave me. She pulled off her best Joan of Arc look. I am gay and I am gagged. Bye.buc86
