There was a lot of adult tension for this one to be rated the benign PG. For some reason, Burton thought he could pull Dumbo off the animation table and into real life. He certainly pushes all the politically correct buttons in the making. The heavyweight casting would be lost on the kids of this generation and does little to make the film more interesting or enjoyable. I guess a flying elephant was THE draw.
I don't remember the original so when I walked out after an hour I have only Burton to blame.
3.0 wonks for CGI, production, and casting
2.5 wanks for presenting misery compounded with political correctness
