I'd like to note that the crows in the original movie were the only characters other than the mouse who treated Dumbo decently, were the smartest characters in the film, and went out of their way to help a fellow outcast get back at his oppressors. When I was a kid, I loved the crows, and to me they came across as characters I was supposed to love, not laugh at.

Yeah I understand exactly what you’re saying. However the crows were a racist stereotype of Southern black men, but they also represented characters who were good. So in a way, it’s not that evil and racist because it shows that some white people back then were not extremely racist. And saw black people as just that, people. People who can be lovable and good. But they also poked fun at thier style. Many things back then were poked fun at in cartoons. So they should’ve included it in the movie. But obviously they wouldn’t...

It’s not a bad film by any means, but it is historical

That ending bit with the "animal-free" circus was just really dumb to me. So like, all the animals are set free, ALL of them.......except the horse one-armed dude rides. So....let me get this straight. They let the elephants, monkeys, doves, even the domesticated pet mice (that will most likely never make it a day in the wild and would most likely end up being stepped on or snatched up by a predator) but they keep the horse for two performers to ride around on and do tricks on it's back in a small, cramped arena? I don't think they thought that message through enough. Going to the extreme of letting small, vulnerable animals to fend for themselves, but they still keep the horse. (also, I almost left my little sister in the movie theatre when seeing this movie it was that bad, especially that little girl's acting. I can't remember what line she said specifically, but I had to step outside for a bit before having to return to my little sister to watch the rest of that crap. She promptly forgot about the movie a week later. Waste of time and money XD) So in other words...thanks for tearing this shit apart, Mr Possum.

I'm totally fine with animals in a circus. They just have to be treated properly. And maybe not exotic animals in an environment foreign to them. Similar with a zoo. We have one here that has pigs, ducks, chickens, ponies, donkeys, and lamas. All animals that do fine in the natural environment we have here. Nothing exotic, but you can get very close. The chickens are even allowed to freely roam the surrounding park.

The original Dumbo movie was about a lost elephant with larger then normal ears, which then he uses to fly In the remake, it's about a little girl and hear pet baby elephant. They turned Dumbo into a pet movie

The worst part about that baby song is that in the original Dumbo's mother sang it to him, but in the remake it's someone else who sings it because it was in the original. It's not even directed at Dumbo.

Why? We shouldn't pay to those woke sh!t corporation remake & crap!

Here's something I really don't get about this movie; I love Tim Burton, I haven't liked literally everything he's ever done, but I really do love him. But here's the thing about him; you need to set him up with a very specific kind of movie for him to really live up to his potential, otherwise you'll get a failure. He's a horror man, and even things he's made that aren't strictly horror are still a lot more dark than a lot of movies for kids are. So if you give him Corpse Bride or Nightmare Before Christmas, he knocks it out of the park, but if you give him something else, like Dumbo for example, it doesn't work. It could've worked, if Disney allowed him to be change more about the story and be more out of the box, because then he could've made it a darker, more horrific take on Dumbo, which would've made it both original and fit with his style. But since they didn't, poor Burton's left flailing and gasping for air under a project that was never meant for him.

Burton was only a producer for Nightmare before Christmas. Sorry for the nit-pick

Dumbo was gifted a feather by the crows and that's what gave him the confidence to fly. And he held it with his trunk rather than snorting it into his trunk. Removing the crows and changing how the feather is handled makes this a movie other than Dumbo. It's not the same at all. The message behind the gifted feather was the idea that believing in yourself will help you achieve the impossible. They gave the iconic part of the Crows to some kids and it feels so cheap and pandering. The original Dumbo took risks. Dumbo got accidentally drunk in the original, which I admire honestly because you didn't know what the hell was going to happen in the original. It took risks and it told a great story. It wasn't much of a story, but it told it in an interesting way. Unlike the remake.

They included the big headed little girl in the hopes that she and Dumbo would draw attention away from each other.

First, Disney removed the roustabouts and the crows from the Dumbo story because their implied racism might (somehow) disturb children. Then they added an amputee and someone getting crushed to death by a circus tent pole. Yes, I'm sure those won't disturb children at all.

And also, more racism!

I always found something weird about that little girl, the way she never expressed emotion but was stoic throughout most of this literal trainwreck. I find her more Children of the Corn kind of movie than this, although this barely qualifies as family entertainment. I can see her in horror movies down the line.

Disney has some pretty great animatronics.

It's good that my two favourite Disney movies are safe from Disney's life-action remake madness, because first, both weren't very successful and second, with Disney's standards for production quality, it would cost astronomical ammounts of money to create either a sunken city or a planet full of treasure.

Don’t get your hopes up too much. With both movies having a cult following, Disney can use them as nostalgia bait.

Yknow, I never understood why elephants would be afraid of something so much smaller than they, but then I see people wig out over little tiny bugs all the time so maybe it’s not so far fetched.

1. there was no “why did the Goblin turn on the stove?” joke in this one. 2. Why did I feel like the daughter was CGI as well? 3. You don’t want to know how accurate the “being turned into Glue or Dogfood” part is.

Dumbo is a movie that you know they'll make, but then you forgot it has already came out and by that time, the cinemas stopped showing it.

". . . by a bunch of racist stereotypes." Please listen to Cab Calloway or any of dozens of black bands from the 1930s to the 1970s. The crows are not stereotypes of black PEOPLE _per se,_ but rather of black musician groups who would often start their tracks with this high-energy back-and-forth badinage. You can see elements of it in more "modern" music, if you listen to, for example, Afroman (another self-referential joke) and his song _Because I Got High,_ which has a section where the lead says, "I was gonna pay my child support," and one of the other individuals (I don't know the position this individual played) shouts, "No you wasn't!" in the background.

I loved the animation. Brimming with passion and personality, rather enjoyable. The skits, I mean. Not the film's. :)

Possum having to hide from the circus has had me more on edge than the entire Dumbo remake.

Possum hasn’t uploaded in over 9 hours, for all we know he could have been turned into glue or dog food.

The music in the original Dumbo is great. Plus, I love the times when they clearly just let the animators run wild. And boy that pink elephants number is WILD.

As a train nerd I’d like to point out that locomotive pulling the circus train looks like it’s from the 1860s and not the 1910s when much larger and more powerful locomotives would be the norm.

I'll never forget that Mythbusters proved elephants are actually afraid of mice.

"The movie doesn't say who he sold the furniture too tho, so all we know it could've been turned into glue or dog food." Lmao.

Someone probably said this, but, : African elephants have huge ears - and Indian elephants have small ears. Dumbo has huge ears- his mom has small ones. She is Indian, he is African. You would think someone in the production would have notice.

Fun elephant fact: the healthiest, longest-lived elephants in the world are the working elephants used to haul lumber. They outlive wild elephants by a bit, and zoo elephants by a lot. Lift weights. You'll live longer.

This is the big problem with Disney's live action remakes: they try to fix what ain't broke. In many cases, they just wind up making things worse. What's with the kid playing Millie? It's like she lost her personality in a tragic bowling accident or something. Why did the goblin turn on the stove?

I was genuinely surprised when I learned that Americans viewed them as racist and it still baffles me today. Why do they view the most weird things as racist?

@N12015

Жыл бұрын

Because they don't really know what racism is, which might explain why they keep failing under that mistake. Is not making stereotypes, is mocking those stereotypes and something DUE TO THEIR CULTURE/RACE. They're stereotypes, but they're never mocked; if anything, they're taken seriously with the feather and stuff, which is weird for a film made in the 50's.

The three crows were the kindest, friendliest, most helpful characters from the original movie. I don't see how they are considered offensive beyond the being black crows.

"and life goes downhill from there" I felt that

Batman and the Penguin, reunited at last. Danny Elfman music, Tim Burton directing...HBC could be a decent Harley. This could've been a Batman Returns sequel.

The narrative also doesn’t care about the other Spanish Flu victims at the circus, like Natalya, much like how it stopped caring about the animals at Nightmare Island. They are forgotten even when Rufus also dies, which would have made the scene a lot sadder. For all we know those other victims were turned into glue or dog food.

I remember this remake being ugly, boring, and pointless. The only good thing that happened when I watched it was when I was leaving the theater and a bird tried to fly away, but then hit the glass, and then it flew higher, and then it flew away. So in other words, the best part of my experience with this movie wasn't even in the movie. But my biggest problems are with the elephant stuff. First, the elephant CGI in this movie was awful and noticeable. I'm glad they fixed this with The One and Only Ivan, but in Dumbo, it was just awful. Second, the elephants didn't even sound like real elephants. Instead, they sounded like monsters from a horror movie or something. No trumpets, stock sound effects, or anything resembling an elephant. Just these loud roars and growls that sound like they're meant for some mutated monster. Third, while they are my favorite animal, I found the happy ending that Dumbo and his mom got to be pretty pointless to the overall movie. Again, it was done better with The One and Only Ivan. As always, this was a well-done review.

I've been debating my brother for years on of Giraffes make sounds. Thank you Possum for more ammo in the argument.

Even the director himself (Tim Burton) hated the film itself because Disney didn't let him make the movie he wanted anyway

I've got a personal bone to pick with this movie. Dumbo was one of my favorite movies, and I was devastated when the sequel was canned. It looked miles better than this.

The original may not have been perfect,but at least it was still more memeable than this remake. Also I wish y'all a good day,so that's one nice thing.

Now i expect there to be a caracter arc with Possum getting more and more paranoid with every review to the point that everytime he does a review and something happens (a call, or something) he thinks it's someone trying to stop him and goes mental
