A completely joyless exercise which my daughter loved because it's got a flying fucking elephant in it. I saw Keaton, and I heard Elfman, but didn't put it together until the end credits that it was a Tim Burton movie.
I didn't see or don't remember the original Dumbo, but I can't imagine it was the dreary, bleak slog that this was, where even the good guys (other than Dumbo himself) weren't very likable, and you were just waiting for the damn thing to escape from all of it. Which he does at the end, but what is supposed to be a teary goodbye between him and the "good" humans, I could only interpret as poor Dumbo just being happy to be out of the goddamn movie.
Good for you, Dumbo. Good for you.
Also, Dumbo Drinking Game: Count the number of times Keaton changes his "evil villain" accent. We love ya, Mike, but Christ.
