It's like doing CPR on a rotting fish. You couldn't have eaten it when it was first caught, but you just had to "save it" and now it's beyond spoiled and better off thrown away.

Dumbo is a wonderful film that I've loved tremendously. Whether your a fan of the original or it's your first time seeing it, I highly recommend it. The film does a magnificent job of making an old classic a tad bit more modern with some extra twists from Tim Burton. Although the story plot alters quite a bit compared to the original, it is not too surprising given that Disney has chosen to go the 'real life remake' pattern like their other remakes. Take the movie with a grain of salt and enjoy it for what it is meant to be. A movie meant to be enjoyed for fun. With that said, the topics of the film are heavy and emphasizes a lot of concerns based around animal cruelty within the circus. However, as all Disney films go, they always have a good ending to them. The emphasis on the more 'scarier' parts are to frighten the audience to make them understand how our protagonists feel during the course of the film. I look forward to buying the film upon release to Amazon or DVD.
