The circus and its members have been struggling financially, and Max Medici (Danny DeVito) is looking for the next big thing to bring crowds back in. We’re introduced to the performers of the Medici Brothers’ Circus, and a map tracks the troupe’s bookings.
Let’s take a look at what Burton and crew were able to achieve.ĭumbo opens in a way reminiscent of, but not copying, the original film’s beginning.
The animated film runs a measly 64 minutes, so there’s more that can be done to flesh out the concept. The original Dumbo also contains a couple of sequences that I could definitely imagine inspiring Burton, like the “Pink Elephants on Parade” scene. I didn’t hate his Alice remake, although I didn’t exactly love it either, and I prefer James Bobbin’s sequel, Alice: Through the Looking Glass. When Disney announced that Tim Burton would be returning to the remake game (after his 2010 Alice in Wonderland ), I had concerns, but it certainly wasn’t their worst idea. 2016’s The Jungle Book and Pete’s Dragon succeeded for similar reasons, while 2017’s Beauty and the Beast raked in millions as a glorified shot-for-shot recreation of the classic original. 2015’s Cinderella is my favorite so far because it actually offered something new that wasn’t copy-pasted from the animated film. Personally, I have mixed feelings on Disney’s trend of remaking their movies because the results have been mixed in terms of quality and creativity.
This weekend saw Disney’s most recent live-action remake of one of their animated classics, this time 1941’s Dumbo.
