Dumbo: adorable film for all ages

Dumbo, a small elephant capable of flying, no longer has to face the problem of its existence. In the 2019 version of real action, he was given a new problem. No other elephant will make fun of its wide ears. Physical disorders do not always make him depressed. Until then, he proved that the ear is a blessing that allows him to fly. On the other hand, Dumbo is upset because a bad person separates him from his mother.

This might be a good sign for humanity in general. Mocking the disabled is indeed a common thing that should have been extinguished long ago. However, this is not the only reason for the lack of this heartbreaking scene. Maybe we don't know that Dumbo is still being mocked - how about that, in this live action version, no animal can talk. Especially because the animated version was sung in 1941. In fact, we don't even spend a little time with them. So, we will not meet with Timothy, the circus rat who is Dumbo's best friend.

The new advanced version of Dumbo is no longer a question of how Dumbo can fly. He is good at beating ears since the beginning of the film. So, even though Dumbo's flying abilities are still spectacular, this part is not the essence of the film. Dumbo is still the center of the film's story, but this time he is surrounded by too many characters with very cliche backgrounds and descriptions. We can almost guess the story coverage when a character appears for the first time on the screen. To look amazing, Dumbo actually doesn't need it. Dumbo was pulled from there.

The most important human figure is probably Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell), a circus racer belonging to Max Medici (Danny DeVito). Upon returning to state service during the First World War, Holt had to lose his hand, his horse and his wife. Due to the alarming circumstances of the Medici circus, Holt is responsible for caring for elephants, including a developing elephant named Jumbo. Yes, she is an elephant who gave birth to Dumbo. Because of his physical abnormalities, only the children of Holt, Milly and Joe (Nico Parker and Finley Hobbins) are willing to take care of him.

When I see Dumbo, I have the impression of seeing a real elephant. Okay, of course, there are no elephants with ears and eyes this big. However, the magic of CGI makes it come true. When he moves or interacts with humans, he has a convincing weight. Speaking of eyes, you clearly know that the function of the eye is not a function of the character of this film. Right, to provoke sympathy and dry sweat into our eyes.
The film was made by Tim Burton, the director who was once again invited by Disney after successfully launching a classic adaptation trend to their animated film by Alice in Wonderland.

This film is more suited to Burton's unique style, because the original material is indeed relatively dark and eccentric. Dumbo for children. So of course, Burton's excitement has no place, although we can see a little through some circus scenes and playgrounds that have interesting visual and production settings. There is also an iconic "pink elephant" scene from the original film that has been transformed into Burton into an amazing and amazing sequence of soap bubbles even though there is no connection with the story.
