Dumbo Flying Elephant [REVIEW]: Another story by Tim Burton
In recent years, Disney has released a series of live action films from successful animated films in the past. These include The Jungle Book, Beauty and the beast (2017) and more recently Mary Poppins return (2018). Tim Burton's Dumbo The Flying Elephant movie will open for Aladin, Lion King and Mulan films to open this year.
Dumbo has a similarity to Alice in Wonderland, which was co-directed by Tim Burton, the script was greatly changed from the original.
What is dumbo? Birth of a Flying Elephant
Dumbo is a long-term strategic Disney project: Adapting live-action (live) versions based on resources is their classic animation. Dumbo animation appeared in 1941, adapted from Dumbo the Flying Elephant stories by Helen Aberson and Harold Pearl. This Oscar-winning work is on the conservation list of the Library of Congress.
Director Tim Burton always said that he was "a strange and weird person" from a young age with so many children and his friends. So his style of film also bears that strange influence, with characters with different personalities as well as dark and monstrous scenes. It can be said that Dumbo - the Flying Elephant will not be too "the strange" that Burton used to do. However, Tim Burton's spirit is still clearly portrayed: honoring the freedom of difference and believing in what he does it is unlike anyone.
At the beginning of the film, the message of the film was made clear when we witnessed the discrimination that can occur in anyone, in any situation.
Synopsis Dumbo Flying Elephant
Revolve around the journey to find the freedom of the flying elephant Dumbo. At the beginning of the story is the appearance of two children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) led by his father Holt Farrier to the circus for entertainment. Unexpectedly found the baby elephant Dumbo is hiding in a straw. they accidentally discovered that Dumbo's giant ears could make him fly, something no other elephant could do.
Earlier, Boss Max Medici had to find a way to hide Dumbo's huge ears when he performed, in order to make the audience not to criticize.
And most especially when admiring the special ability of Dumbo, they separated the life of this flying elephant from their mother and then took him to circus performances to profit. From here Dumbo journey begins with many things waiting ahead.
Although the characters in the Flying Elephant Dumbo do not have many characteristics in Burton's style, although they are not visible on the outside, they are clearly expressed in their souls.
It was the character Holt Farrier, a soldier who fought the wars and had to kill the enemy, but he did not show that he enjoyed showing such a violent attitude in the movie to anyone.
Vandervere, the tycoon who owns a vast tycoon empire, wants to do anything with his kingdom, but he has a cold-hearted heart and no compassion for life. It brings the most attraction in Dumbo Flying Elephant because of its monster and strange.
The character Max Medici who always makes money by all means, but at the last minute he changes, when he chooses the members of the circus rather than the money, treating them as his family, where he want to be attached for a long time, never give up, no matter how ugly and reserved you are.
Images and sounds
Compared to the films Tim Burton has done, the film does not seem outstanding. The makeup and photos are nothing weird and striking, neither is the sound and music.
But this is definitely a strategy for Disney because the strange movie that was previously with Alice in Wonderland was not appreciated in the content. So, with Dumbo, the Flying Elephant, Disney no longer wanted to take risks and Burton had to follow a typical movie's way to the cinema.
The most prominent acting of the film belongs to actor Michael Keaton with the role of the tycoon Vandevere, most of which belongs to this character is the "most freaky" character compared to other characters in the film.
Overall, the Flying Elephant Dumbo is a safe stepping stone for early 2019 for Disney in releasing its live-action adaptations.

The film hopes to have an acceptable revenue to make the confident step for Aladdin and The Lion King products to follow. This will definitely be a well-made live action version of creativity as well as meaningful message content. This is also a film that honors the difference of each person, everyone should have their own place for their own things.
The film is a sweet song for young children who are learning about the worldview around them with quite useful life lessons.
