Alan Arkin saying "Pack-ee-derm" (0 more)
While in some ways a strange marriage, Dumbo has several Tim Burton elements: an evil rich guy, Michael Keaton/Danny DeVito/Eva Green, outsiders, people who don't get a lot of sun even though they live in a traveling circus. The most Tim Burton thing about it is when Dreamland is engulfed in smoke surrounded by dark clouds and Nightmare Island. The rest of the film is mostly live action Disney. Dumbo has Bambi-like doe eyes and except for the evil wannabe tycoon the humans are sentimental and protective of the kids.

Doesn't Take Off!
If you're expecting a 'live action' version of the loveable, original Disney animation - you're not going to get it! Unfortunately this delivers a sad, dark movie that has hardly any uplifting or magical moments in it. I know Tim Burton has directed, but where is the heart from films such as Edward Scissorhands? The cast perform well (Eva Green stands out) and the special effects are good, but the whole thing leaves you feeling sad. I know most Disney movies have sad themes, but this is not the family entertainment you'd expect with at least an element of joyfulness. Give it a miss.
