Dumbo get's the Disney live-action treatment.
This is definitely a thing that will not stop until Bambi and Steamboat Willie...
From Google:
"Struggling circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists a former star (Colin Farrell) and his two children (Nico Parker, Finley Hobbins) to care for Dumbo, a baby elephant born with oversized ears. When the family discovers that the animal can fly, it soon becomes the main attraction -- bringing in huge audiences and revitalizing the run-down circus. The elephant's magical ability also draws the attention of V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), an entrepreneur who wants to showcase Dumbo in his latest, larger-than-life entertainment venture."
I never saw the animated original, which is supposedly a classic (with some racist stuff of course, because it's so old), but this was okay.
It didn't make sense that so many corners were cut in Dumbo's training, etc. since he was literally going to make them all billions of dollars, but suspense had to be created.
JUST OKAY.
