Dumbo (2019)

Tim Burton’s new Dumbo lands in the multiplex big top with a dull thud. It is a flightless pachyderm of a film that saddles itself with 21st-century shame at the idea of circus animals, overcomplicating the first movie, losing the directness, abandoning the lethal pathos, mislaying the songs and finally getting marooned in some sort of steampunk Jurassic Park, jam-packed with retro-futurist boredom that had the kids at the performance I attended talking among themselves.

The director includes all the right parts of the original “Dumbo” — the iconic song “Baby Mine,” the elephant jetting off a burning building — and discards the trash. Dumbo no longer gets wasted on Champagne and hallucinates pink elephants on parade, and the racially offensive crows have been axed. It’s the director’s best work since “Sweeney Todd,” and is highly reminiscent of his fun “Big Fish.”

I had heard this movie was shit and Burton has sucked since big fish. I hadn't seen the original since I was probably 7 years old so it's hard to remember every detail.

With that said I enjoyed it, my biggest complaint was getting rid of the mouse. He threw them in there for homage but it doesn't fix anything
