Dumbo





Jean, I saw Dumbo this morning at Cinema I and must admit I teared up at least three times. This is not a juvenile fantasy movie to me. I think you buy into that cute yet soulful baby elephant right away.  Tim Burton works with such a believable little hero and gets hm flying early on. You do not wait until the end of the movie. Along the way you have a strong cast such as Danny DeVito, Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton and Eva Green. The plot makes a strong statement about a human failing that many people share. But the film has some very powerful scenes that can bring you near to tears and cause some very apprehensive moments as you fear for the safety of the little hero and the people on the side of good. I would not be surprised if this is a very successful film.  Dad
