This is more like a movie that's inspired by the story of the original. What surprised me even more is when I found that this live-action remake isn't a "remake" per se. Burton's imaginative visuals that leap off the screen, as Dumbo's cuteness do, also add to the storytelling a great deal. The eccentric visual panache that distinguish Burton's works are evidently present here and not only for its own sake. To my surprise (and a lot of people's, I reckon), Burton's rendering of Dumbo marks Burton's return to his creative, unique vision he's always been known for. Add to this the fact that it's directed by Tim Burton (one of my favourite filmmakers) whose adaptation of Alice in Wonderland wasn't the best thing it could be (although I liked it).

While it goes without saying this wasn't intended for very young children, I'd say this is fine to watch in a family setting. I was pleased by the beating heart of humanity at the centre of the movies story and the combination of this in conjunction with the superb talent (incl exceptional production team) really puts the movie ahead of its own concept. I expected the visual effects to be exceptional but the writing was the real star. This is Tim Burton firing on all cylinders with all the tools in his belt fully mastered.
