Review of Dumbo (2019) by Cag345 — 29 Mar 2019

It is a bit unthinkable that one of the best adaptations of Disney classics is Dumbo. An animated film with a short duration and not always charming in the plot, that now in this new adaptation embodies the mystical and the magic that Disney wants to project. Until now, many of the films turned out to be only replicas of their animated classics without reporting anything special in them. Yes, Disney may want to captivate a new public using the tools they used years ago, but it is not entirely fair not to innovate in the frames and only get to limit themselves to the superficial of their previous proposals.

Dumbo is simply wonderful in every technical sense. Tim Burton is undoubtedly a master of inventiveness and imagination since the world created in this movie is simply spectacular. We know a director who is not always conventional and he surprises us with his films in terms of the plot and the effects, but here in Dumbo, I find it fascinating as he is a retailer and how honest his proposal is. It never feels like a movie without a heart. It is movable without really striving for it. On the other hand, the entire cast glimpses and the CGI used for Dumbo is first class.

Hopefully, the next adaptations of Disney are at the level of this movie.
