Dumbo
Soar to new heights.
Directed by Tim Burton
Produced by Tim Burton Productions, Walt Disney Pictures
A visually sumptuous live-action remake that balances family-friendly wonder with hints of corruption and exploitation, grounded in nostalgia for the original while adding darker undertones.
A young elephant, whose oversized ears enable him to fly, helps save a struggling circus, but when the circus plans a new venture, Dumbo and his friends discover dark secrets beneath its shiny veneer.
