Disney has been on a remake spree, including both the Walt Disney animated classics and the Disney Renaissance animated films. Some of the remakes have produced great results (i.e. Beauty and the Beast<\/em> [2017]) and some have \u2026not (The Jungle Book<\/em> [2016] \u2013 just ask my wife). This trend makes me wonder if Disney is running out of ideas and decided to remake these movies to entertain the current generation of young filmgoers. I hope not. If I were to put my two cents in, they should just re-release the original films into theaters.<\/p>\n

Side note from Ryan\u2019s wife, Cheree:<\/strong> The magic of Disney will never run out of steam (<\/em>Steamboat Willy, anyone? No? Okay.). This is simply Disney\u2019s way of reimagining the classics to draw in a whole new generation of Disney addicts. This also gives them a chance to update some of the older films\u2019 references that are racist\/sexist\/etc. Whether or not those references were a sign of their time is a conversation for another day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Before Disney owned it, LucasFilm re-released the original Star Wars<\/em> films in theaters with updated graphics and sound. This reignited the fans\u2019 passion for the series, stirring up excitement and anticipation for the (then-upcoming) prequel trilogy, starting with The Phantom Menace<\/em> (1999). No remake was required. I wouldn\u2019t recommend that path for any filmmaker. If you\u2019re going to do it, do it right the first time \u2013 then come up with new stories to tell. Here is an article<\/strong><\/a><\/span> I wrote about keeping Star Wars<\/em> as is.<\/p>\n

Back to the topic at hand! I was excited walking into Dumbo<\/em>. Based on the previews, I knew it would be a delightful tale filled with moments that would awe both children and adults. In a rare feat for Hollywood, the trailer was a good representation of the finished product \u2013 the movie was excellent.<\/p>\n

I liked the original Dumbo<\/em> (1941), but it had too many musical numbers (my wife is glaring at me), with some of them being ethically questionable (Cheree concedes this point \u2013 see her sidebar above). They were probably included to keep the film in the feature-length runtime, otherwise, the plot itself would have only lasted for about a half-hour. Cheree is ranting about an excess of musical numbers being a requisite in Disney classics\u2026and making up the majority of her iTunes library. The original still had its good moments, but the remake blew it out of the water.<\/p>\n

I think one of the things I liked most was that it had a human element to the story. We are introduced to Milly and Joe Farrier (newcomers Nico Parker and Finley Hobbins) as they await the arrival of their father Holt (Colin Farrell). Holt comes home from fighting in World War I, but he\u2019s missing an arm. His children take no time getting used to their father\u2019s new appearance and are delighted to have him home. Milly even says in the film, \u201cWe\u2019re all family here, no matter how small.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holt and his wife were the star trick-riding act in a traveling circus, but his wife passed away while Holt was away serving his country. Holt\u2019s return brings new hope to the Farrier family. This was fun to see since we don\u2019t typically see Farrell playing a good-hearted family man. He seems to gravitate more toward shady characters, but Farrell should consider playing these more wholesome characters more often. His southern accent surprised me, but I was impressed by how well he and the children Americanized their accents (both children are English). Parker\u2019s and Hobbins\u2019 performances in the film were also delightful.<\/p>\n

The circus is owned by Max Medici (Danny DeVito), who dreams of becoming the next P.T. Barnum. Thankfully, though, he doesn\u2019t let his ambition overshadow his desire to care for his troupe. Medici, just like any other businessman, wants his business to grow, but it seems that his glory days are behind him.<\/p>\n

\"dumbo\"<\/a>

This changes when Max\u2019s new elephant, Mrs. Jumbo, gives birth to baby Jumbo Junior, later known as Dumbo. This derisive moniker was given to the young elephant during his first circus appearance when his unusually large ears make it to the public eye. The impressive CGI that brought little Dumbo to life also gave him a lot of character. I wanted to cry every time Dumbo looked sad \u2013 he was so expressively realistic and so sympathetic.<\/p>\n

Milly and Joe make sure Dumbo is safe, despite his unusual appearance and treat him well at home. This is essential to Dumbo\u2019s happiness since Max had no choice but to sell Mrs. Jumbo when her protective maternal instincts made her seem violent. The kids soon discover (purely accidentally) that little Dumbo can fly \u2013 a happy accident indeed. The kids want to ensure that Dumbo is included in the act so they can get the money needed to reunite Dumbo with his mother.<\/p>\n

Dumbo\u2019s abilities attract the attention of V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), a ruthless businessman and owner of Dreamland, a futuristic theme park. Vandevere sees an opportunity to make more money by relocating the circus troupe to his park, but he is more interested in Dumbo. Vandevere\u2019s companion, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), is a famed trapeze artist who is initially reluctant to be in the act. Can you really blame her, though? Who wants to be on the back of a flying elephant when the laws of gravity take over? However, her character becomes more likable as she begins to connect with Max\u2019s circus troupe.<\/p>\n

Once the film moved to Dreamland, I tried not to get too lost into that world. I wanted to lean over to my wife in the theater and ask if she wanted to go straight to Disneyland after the movie. It may be a ploy to get the audience into the mood, but I think it\u2019s genius. Dreamland looked like Disneyland of the future, even though the film took place a hundred years ago. The production design was very impressive here. The details were incredible, right down to the narrator throughout the park (\u201cThis attraction is now closed.\u201d) being nearly identical to the narrations at Disneyland. I think an Oscar nomination is in order.<\/p>\n

I also enjoyed the faithful references to the original film, with a few classic musical numbers being subtly included unobtrusively. The opening show at Dreamland included mesmerizing bubble art, in the shape of elephants, a la the \u201cPink Elephants on Parade\u201d scene from the original. The film stood out on its own but paid great tributes to the cartoon, and I admired that. The remake of the song \u201cBaby Mine\u201d was also very well done.<\/p>\n

Dumbo<\/em> is a must-see in the theater. It is filled with terrific performances, impressive set designs, and outstanding visual effects. It contains many of the elements that make an excellent film. Whether you are with your kids, or even out on a date with your significant other like I was, you will have a good time.<\/p>\n
