"Dumbo," directed by Tim Burton, is a live-action adaptation of Disney's classic animated film from 1941. The story follows a young elephant named Dumbo, who is born with oversized ears that enable him to fly. Set in a struggling circus owned by Max Medici (Danny DeVito), Dumbo becomes a star attraction, captivating audiences with his unique ability.
The film explores themes of family, acceptance, and the power of believing in oneself. While Dumbo's flying abilities bring hope and prosperity to the circus, it also attracts the attention of V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), a charismatic entrepreneur who sees Dumbo as a lucrative opportunity for his extravagant amusement park, Dreamland.
Visually, "Dumbo" showcases Tim Burton's signature style with its whimsical and gothic elements, creating a magical yet melancholic atmosphere. The CGI rendering of Dumbo and the other animals is impressive, bringing them to life with emotive expressions. The film's cast delivers solid performances, with DeVito and Keaton standing out alongside Colin Farrell and Eva Green.
Despite its visual splendor and heartfelt moments, "Dumbo" received mixed reviews for its deviation from the original animated film and its pacing issues. Some critics felt that the film struggled to balance its darker themes with its family-friendly appeal. However, it remains a visually captivating interpretation of a beloved story, offering a fresh perspective on Dumbo's journey of self-discovery and acceptance.

For a fantasy flick it was pretty good. Good acting, classic story. Good visuals.

Never a good sign when a CGI elephant is the most powerful acting presence throughout the film.
