I have to say that Disney is indeed a dream-making kingdom that makes people fascinated. It not only composes a dream-like dream for human beings, but also inserts dream wings for various animals. In the world of Disney, to paraphrase a classic ad slogan: anything is possible.
This film can be regarded as Disney's version of "The Ugly Duckling Becomes a Swan". It is also because of its strange appearance that the Dumbo is disrespected by thousands of people, while the mother elephant is eager to protect her child and accidentally causes death, which triggered the "separation of mother and child". "The tragedy.
On the other hand, the two little protagonists developed empathy with Dumbo because of the premature death of their mother. By chance, they discovered that Dumbo could actually fly.
No matter who it is, as long as it becomes a scarce resource, it will immediately be regarded as a treasure and further develop into a "lucky cat".
The Dumbo with special functions has instantly changed from being disliked by people to being popular, and the stage has also been changed from a small theater to a large theater. But all this is not what Dumbo thinks, all it wants is to be reunited with the mother elephant and live freely.
If put into reality, this is of course a daydream, but Disney gave it the right to dream, and all the positive characters are gods assisting, not only fulfilling Dumbo, but also fulfilling its own "hero dream".
For Tim Burton, it also takes courage to take over a classic IP like Dumbo, and it takes more skills to make old trees blossom. However, in terms of creative direction, Disney is indeed like a five-fingered mountain, which is left to its flash exhibition. The room for maneuvering is very limited, and the gothic style that has always been good at is obviously not compatible with the fairy tale style, giving people a feeling of being tied up and unable to make people shine.
What's more indescribable is the characters and plot. Since the main event is on Dumbo, whether it is a decent or a villain, there is a lack of necessary shaping, and the facialization is extremely serious. The problem is that there is basically zero interaction between the people who eat melons and Dumbo, so how can they help the mother elephant and Dumbo to escape the cage at the risk of entering the police station to drink coffee with a call from the male protagonist?
Just like boiling water, it needs to be heated continuously until it finally comes to a boil. The whole film is too "cold" in the early stage. In order to achieve the so-called climax, a lot of violent materials were added all at once, which is very stiff and difficult for people to empathize with.
Although this film has a lot of shortcomings, it is still worth watching. Disney is like this. Adding sugar to reality always makes people see hope. A work full of positive energy like this will definitely warm you up inadvertently.
Growth is a process from facing oneself to accepting oneself. It may be only a small step in the eyes of others, but it requires great courage to overcome the inner obstacles and become a better person!
