Reviews
I have a foggy memory of watching the animated Dumbo and sobbing throughout most of it, and I think I was in my 20's. I decided to give this one a chance because I had a feeling it would be less depressing and would help me heal from the trauma.
People seem pretty opposed to this version, but I liked it, mostly because of the cast. A Michael Keaton Batman and Danny Devito Penguin reunion? Yes please. Danny Devito and Colin Farrell, old Penguin meets new Penguin? Of course. Eva Green? Always. Nico Parker? One of my favorite young actors on the rise.
I think Disney went overboard with the live-action remakes in a short time period, but the original Dumbo is pushing a hundred year old. It was time.
