Review of Dumbo

Dumbo (2019)
6/10
Don't expect it to be like the original movie
31 March 2019
This was a fine movie. The CGI is really well done (Like in all Disney movies), specially the sequence that "remakes" the pink elephants on parade scene, my favorite of the original movie. The acting is okay, nothing special to be honest, it's what would you expect from a family movie. Regarding the soundtrack we don't have as many songs as in the animated movie, sadly.

However, I'm not sure if I would recommend this movie. The storyline is way different, the original movie basically was Dumbo trying to meet with his mother again (and the mouse helping him) and learning some values on the way, apart from finding his flying talent. This version in a nutshell is Dumbo doing things with many human characters, we don't see his interest of meeting with his mother again so much like in the previously mentioned version. Also, the movie has many sub-plots that don't really develop and that don't add much.

In conclusion, it's an okay movie but don't expect it to be a masterpiece and of course don't expect it to be like the original Dumbo movie. The only similar things are the main characters (Except the mouse, why would they remove him from the film?) and that there's a circus.
