Review of Dumbo (2019) by Derekreide — 29 Mar 2019
In all basicness, 'Dumbo' is, arguably, the best Disney live action film. Before I go deeper, I just want to state a disclaimer, that being, I'm not fond of the live action remakes of classic Disney tales.
'Dumbo' blows it out of the park this time with Tim Burton's artistic and creative visual thoughts coming out onto the screen in shots so clean and pure. The story, very faithful to the Disney original, with the exception of one scene.
The characters, yes a lot of them are human, but it's live action (touche to Disney). To an emotional scale, I am not one to actually break out in tears in the theater, being I'm very thick-skinned when watching a movie, but 'Dumbo' takes the very first time I broke out crying when "Baby Mine" is played.
The scene itself, from the emotion, piling on itself numerous times in a matter of thirty seconds, just completes the movie, even though it's not even halfway through. So in all, 'Dumbo', to me, that is Disney.
I look at Disney movies as somewhat of a checklist, emotional? Check. Witty and creative? Check. Family-friendly? Check. 10/10.
