Dumbo is the live-action remake of the much beloved 1941 Walt Disney film of the same name. This updated 2019 rendition is directed by famed auteur Tim Burton. Who, somewhat ironically, first established that this live-action trend by Disney could be a colossal success with his 2010 remake of Alice in Wonderland. That resulted in a monstrous ride at the box office grossing over a billion dollars. Burton progressed onto his usual mediocre cruise control with multiple box office flops and critical messes in the likes of Dark Shadows, Frankenweenie, Big Eyes and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. All undoubtedly pieces of Burton’s identifiable aesthetic but lacking the emotional flair he once had in his 80s and 90s heyday.
