Dumbo is a must see as Tim Burton does a good job of bringing the classic Disney animation to life. The story was changed to make it a full length film and the animals do not talk.

Colin Farrell and Danny DeVito disappointed as their portrayals seemed forced. Michael Keaton was passable as the bad guy. The kids were loveable. The star was the CG Dumbo and the CG artists that brought Dumbo to life.

Rating - B
