Can't say I like the idea, but I am a Tim Burton fan and Dumbo was always a rea fav of mine, so ill give it a watch.
And that mouse has a name buster! It's Timothy Q. Mouse

Oh crap, I just realized how messed up the Pink Elephant song is going to be with Burton behind the camera.

Not just that song, but Burton doing a circus themed movie...

Wait a minute...Tim Burton? Who's known for extremely dark takes on everything he directs? I'm wondering how that'll go down with a movie like Dumbo, which is one of the most lighthearted things I've ever seen. And one of my favorite films of all time...hm. Not so sure how I feel about this. I'm intrigued - I'll leave it at that.
Not quite sure why, but my mind immediately went to Pokemon upon reading that. "Surf. The Movie." (shrug) I might. Quote:
Oh damn. Didn't think about that. Now I'm definitely intrigued.

It's probably a bit more then delightfully ignorant political incorrectness of the 40's, when the leader of the crows was named "Jim Crow".

I'm not denying they have some stereotyping, but I find it kind of humorous that people are always quick to brand that scene as racist, and COMPLETELY ignore that bit at the beginning with faceless dark men building the tent whilst singing: "We work all day, we work all night, we never learned to read or write . . . we don't know when we get our pay; and when we do, we throw our pay away." Buuuut, nah. Ignore that. Some crows with bad English are the ones you should bash.

Like I said, it was 1941. Lots of stuff that would be called racist today was considered tongue-in-cheek & passable back then.

The crow characters are not racists. The people who made the characters are.

I understood what you meant. That's why I said "I wouldn't classify the depiction of the crows as 'racist.'"

The crows aren't racist; they're stereotypical.

It's been a while since there has been news about this, but yesterday it was reported that Will Smith is in early talks to play a father of some children who befriend Dumbo.
http://ew.com/movies/2017/01/11/will...y-live-action/ Also, Tom Hanks has reportedly been offered to play a villain in the film. That would certainly be a departure from the characters he usually plays. However, he has another project that would potentially prevent him from starring in it. http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/new...-dumbo-villain |

Keaton confirmed on Good Morning America that he's playing the villain. This will mark the first time in 25 years that he will be working alongside Tim Burton and Danny DeVito since Batman Returns.

As someone who loves the original and counts it among one of my favorite movies ever, I am very unhappy this is a thing. That description of the movie sounds worse than I imagined. And considering Burton was directing another of these wretched Disney remakes I had low expectations already.
