Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Kim Hughes (164) for Original-Cin (1,156) on 26 Mar 2019

For all its cinematic bell and whistles, something about Dumbo feels hollow (I wrote that word three times in my notebook during the screening)…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Matt Singer (625) for ScreenCrush (954) on 26 Mar 2019

Dumbo’s great skill, flying around a tent in a circle, becomes a little old after it’s repeated ad naseam over the course of two full hours…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By John Semley (121) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 26 Mar 2019

All of which is to say that Dumbo feels totally consistent with Burton’s late-period slump…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Rosie Knight (40) for IGN (1,013) on 26 Mar 2019

Sadly, this routine remake doesn't manage to recapture the surreal strangeness of the original Disney classic or elevate the dated premise…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By David Ehrlich (1,229) for IndieWire (3,631) on 26 Mar 2019

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 26 Mar 2019

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 26 Mar 2019

Neither poignant nor eccentric, this just feels like a lesser 1970s Disney live-action comedy smothered in digital effects…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Kimber Myers (423) for The Playlist (3,871) on 26 Mar 2019

Beyond Dumbo’s cuteness (which was so overwhelming that I now want a baby elephant for a pet, which is surely not the point of the film)…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Time (1,811) on 26 Mar 2019

The new Dumbo is ostentatious and overworked, less a work of imagination than a declaration of how imaginative Burton thinks he is…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Variety (12,700) on 26 Mar 2019

And that’s what this overly eager, fractious, Burtonized but standardized, loudly comic but ultimately rather mirthless remake does to Dumbo…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for The Telegraph (1,120) on 26 Mar 2019

The problem with this latest entry in Disney’s ever-expanding range of recycled classics isn’t that it hews too close to the studio’s…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Mar 2019

This movie also offers less: less wit, less charm, and only a few scraps of the old movie’s crucial songs (though “Baby Mine” receives…
