We have such torn feelings on this one! On the one hand, it's potentially going to be fantastic to see Disney's classic 'Dumbo' re-imagined as a live action movie, using all the benefits of 21st Century technology. On the other hand, if it's not very good, it could damage the very fabric of our childhood! The news that it's only 'loosely inspired' by the original 1941 film is a concern as well; everybody knows the story of 'Dumbo', some people will be upset if that tale is dramatically changed.
It's in the hands of the cast to do a stellar job alongside a CGI elephant if the film is going to be a success. Fortunately for 'Dumbo', that cast includes Michael Keaton, Danny de Vito, Eva Green and Colin Farrell. We're crossing our fingers, keeping one nervous eye on the March 29th release date, and hoping for the best.
