Dumbo


From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the all-new grand live-action adventure “Dumbo” expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.

This was a very cute and cookie cutter version of the animated movie from what I can remember.  It was never one of my Disney favorites but everything seemed pretty much the same.  I thought that it would be a little quirkier because of Tim Burton directing but it was not.  It was very simple, formula and  cute fun for a live action Disney remake.

I would definitely recommend people - especially families - checking this movie out.  It's not a  must see like some of the others but it is quite enjoyable.
