Disney has continued their trend of live-action remakes of their animated classics with “Dumbo”. The film follows the same premise as the 1941 classic in that a baby elephant with giant ears is born into a travelling circus. Like in the animated film he is separated from his mother and soon becomes an unlikely circus act when it is discov...

If you enjoy reading my spoiler-free reviews, please follow my blog :) 1941’s Dumbo was never a favorite of mine. It’s a great movie with a sweet message (as most Disney flicks), but I was curious to see how a remake of a 60-min film would develop. Obviously, changes to the story not only will occur, but they need to. People have to st...

Can't believe I got cheated out of Pink Elephants on Parade like that. Literally the only reason I watched this. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

There's actually a storyline to this one which is pleasing, while the live-action nature really helps...

_**It looks great and has a fine cast, but the story’s curiously lackluster**_ After WW1, a struggling American circus discovers they have a star attraction on hand, a big-eared baby elephant that can fly! Colin Farrell plays the one-armed elephant trainer, Danny DeVito the circus owner, Michael Keaton a Walt Disney-like entrepreneur a...

**It's not perfect, it's not extraordinary, but I liked what I saw, and I think the film manages to deliver what it promises.** In 1941, Disney debuted one of its most outstanding feature films and the shortest. Relatively cheap to produce and without great ambitions, the film was a success and even the US entry into World War II did n...

Way better than the animation movie. Great for families. Dumbo is pretty cute I can't lie. Has a really good cast as well.
