There's a whole lotta mumbo jumbo to be found in Dumbo, Disney's latest live-action remake via nparts
There’s an unbridgeable chasm between Disney’s original flying-elephant movie Dumbo, which turns 78 this year, and the new live-action remake. And that’s a mixed blessing.
The new version, directed by Tim Burton and written by Ehren Kruger , clocks in at almost two hours and puts the human characters upfront. Why his preternaturally large ears should engender such hatred from human circus-goers is never quite explained. Wouldn’t a circus that specializes in freaks capitalize on those auditory flappers? In any case, Dumbo is ostracized by everyone except the kids, who are also the first to witness the pachyderm’s powers of flight.
