Dumbo

If you have not yet seen dumbo, I will not spoil it too much. However, I shall put some of the plot on.

I saw dumbo at the cinema just a few weeks after it was released and I thought it was amazing! I saw the original when I was very young and didn't enjoy as much as some other Disney films but I thought it was fairly good. Most of all, however, I enjoyed the songs. 

I thought Tim Burton did a brilliant job on this movie. I could tell it was him from the music as sometimes directors hire the same composer and it sounded similar to the music in Edward Scissorhands. Somehow, it brought out the magic in the movie in a very creative way. From the moment dumbo rose from the ground, you could not see his feelings through his expressions but hear his feelings through the music. Danny Elfman did a spectacular job in this film.

I thought the cast was great and they did some brilliant acting in this movie. Collette is played by Eva Green, who starred in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. She was amazing and also did an amazing job in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children which Tim Burton also directed and I'm not surprised he wanted her again in yet another astonishing masterpiece. Colin Farrell also starred as Holt, who along with the rest of the circus crew, saves dumbo and his mother and reunites them once again. Danny DeVito also stars and plays a poor circus owner in need of money and a showstopper. Michael Keaton plays Vandemere who helps the circus if Medici, the circus owner, gives him his show, dumbo.

And of course, Tim Burton directs dumbo, who also in the past directed many great movies such as Frankenweenie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Batman Returns.

I highly recommend this movie to the whole family because, in my opinion, it is pure Disney Magic and if you have any spare time this Easter, go and see this movie!
