About this movie

From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the grand live-action adventure Dumbo expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) 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 persuasive entrepreneur V. A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside the charming and spectacular aerial artist Colette Marchant (Eva Green)-until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.

Ratings and reviews

0 Stars!! I would rather have my eyeballs carved out of my head w/ a dull wooden spoon than watch the rest of this movie. That's right, the "rest". It's so awful we turned it off. The kids are a miserable addition. Colin Farrell failed. the entire family's storyline was unnecessary- the girl's onlynpurpose was to narrate for the elephants. Why? Because they failed at conveying those emotions so we needed a child to tell us. I wish I could say more but I'm out of characters- #WorstDisneyRemake

3 to maybe near 3 and a half, because the new Dumbo isn't as bad as people claim. Tim Burton brings us into a beautiful world with aweness, Dumbo simply adding as he flys and does what he does. This film defiently delievers on fronts of the settings, and Dumbo flying, and other wonderous things. Micheal Keaton's villiany, well maybe it could be better. The kids. And other things presented in this remake.

This is a review of both Google play and Dumbo. Google play: I will probably never rent another movie from Google play since even in full screen the play bar and some buttons stayed at the bottom and Dumbo and another bright white button were at the top durring the entire movie and I could not figure out a way to get them to clear the screen. also googles streaming is a bit lacking - the movie would constantly stop with the spiner for a second constantly throughout the show. Netflix never does and neither does xbox. Dumbo: I typically base how good a movie is by how I enjoy the movie. Though the editing, the special effects and the acting were very good the movie left me not impressed. I actually did not enjoy this show like I thought I would as Dumbo was a favorite of mine as a child. It seems like it was just too serious and too long. With the play bar permanently at the bottom of the screen I kept looking down to see how much time was left. I was actually hoping it was over but there was still 50+ minutes remaining. Bottom line - The show is put together very well however it is just no fun to watch. I gave it a 3 because it deserves a 5 on technical but a 1 on content.
