Disney's Dumbo Live Action [Blu-ray] [2019] [Region Free]

Description

From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the grand live-action adventure Dumbo expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V. A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside the charming and spectacular aerial artist Colette Marchant (Eva Green)—until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.Bonus Features:Circus SpectacularsThe Elephant In The RoomBuilt To Amaze.DELETED SCENES :Roustabout RufusPachyderm PlansThe Other Medici BrotherMonkey BusinessA Star Is BornWhere's Dumbo?Elephant HeistBackstageA Seat At The ShowEaster Eggs On ParadeClowning Around"Baby Mine" Performed By Arcade Fire Review: BUT I'VE BEEN, DONE, SEEN ABOUT EVERYTHING WHEN I SEE AN ELEPHANT FLY - Was, myself, brought up watching Disney classics such as the 1941 version of Dumbo....a movie that still has the charm today as it always has. Disney again revisiting an old favourite - The film receiving mixed responses from many critics, some saying despite its brilliant visual content it lacked the 'soul' brought to the screen of its 1941 original. All I can say having now watched it, is, see it for yourself, I believe the majority will love it. Returning to his family, Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) after the war (it's now 1919) with the loss of his left arm, he finds that his wife had died during a flu-epidemic, his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) had been cared for by his fellow circus family headed by friend and owner Max Medici (Danny De Vito) Holt, can no longer do the horseback entertainment he once did and is offered the job of caretaker. The circus has fallen on hard times, Max, looking for extra attractions had bought an elephant Jumbo who turns out to be pregnant.....well, when born a baby elephant would attract interest. However, when Jumbo Jnr arrives he has unusually large ears, Max isn't sure of its potential. However, Holt's children take to the young elephant and play with it, when taunting Jumbo Jnr with a feather the young elephant leaves the ground chasing it, when Milly and Joe try to tell their father what happened he, of course, dismisses it. However, the young elephant is introduced to the circus ring helping te clowns put out a staged fire but becomes trapped many feet above the stage, Milly climbs the ladder with a feather in hand, this tempts Jumbo Jnr now renamed Dumbo after an earlier incident to fly away from the danger. Meanwhile in an incident whereby mum Jumbo only protecting her child is seen as out of control and will be sold back to her previous owner, minus the young elephant of course. News travels fast, entrepreneur and theme-park owner V. A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton) along with partner and trapeze artist Colette Marchant (Eva Green) turn up to see the spectacle for themselves. Vandevere soon offers Max a partnership and a home for his troupe, however, the entrepreneur only has his eye on the dollars young Dumbo can earn for him, and will not prove a reliable associate. At the theme park, it is discovered that Dumbo's mum is there, a chained-up attraction, Dumbo pines for the mother he'd been cruelly separated from, will they now be reunited? ....not if Vandevere has his way they won't. With much drama to come, will there be a happy ending for young Dumbo? An enjoyable watch that those remembering the charm of the original should avoid making comparisons. A truly great family watch - enjoy. Review: Brilliant film - Worth the money and a good family film to watch together.
