Synopsis
Tim Burton imagines a fantastic new stage in the life of Disney’s famously big-eared elephant. Dumbo is, first and foremost, a live-action version of the original animated classic. When young Dumbo begins to fly, he brings success to the small family-run circus he calls home. That is only the beginning of Disney’s new adventure, however.
Dumbo’s antics lead to fame. The plucky elephant attracts the attentions of a cunning businessman (Michael Keaton) who wants Dumbo to be part of his newfangled amusement park. What seems like the opportunity of a lifetime quickly turns dangerous as Dumbo’s human friends (played by Colin Farrell, Eva Green, and Danny DeVito) realize there are dark secrets hidden beneath the big top of their new home.

nice collaboration of new mixed with old. I loved it, being a fan of the original.
It was so good! The characters were great, the story was inspiring, and the visuals were stunning
Metacritic
Whether this iteration of Dumbo is a good experience for you will depend on your tolerance for the familiar and the sentimental, and the joy you take in what is visually striking and beautiful.
The nudges and winks in Dumbo about Disney’s predatory practices are an invitation from filmmaker to audience to share a knowing chuckle over the essential soullessness of the entire enterprise.
It’s made with families in mind – the material will resonate with children and parents (thankfully) will be sufficiently engaged not to wish to be elsewhere. Unaccompanied adults, however, may not be quite as enchanted.
