Summary:
Circus owner Max Medici enlists former star Holt Farrier and his children to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere, who recruits the Dumbo for his newest entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets. "The film's a joy to behold, if not to ponder. Burton and his crew find magic in their paintbox that's missing in the story."--Toronto Star. "[It] has charms and melancholies of its own, starting, naturally, with the elephant in the room. Of all the CGI make-overs, this Dumbo is the most textured, sweetest and most soulful of creatures."--Associated Press. "Burton has merrily turned what could have been another remake into something genuinely different and surprising."--New York Times. "Like the original 1941 "Dumbo," from Walt Disney, this movie will probably outlast every single person connected with it and will move and delight children who haven't yet been born - and maybe their kids, too."--San Francisco Chronicle.
