This live-action re-imagining of Disney's 1941 animated classic may be the sweetest film Tim Burton has ever made. It's also the safest. 2.5/5
-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The film is just different enough to stick out amid the studio's backwards-looking slate, and Burton, for the first time in years, shows he hasn't lost his love for the idiosyncratic.
-David Sims, The Atlantic
Dumbo is pretty standard issue, with corporate necessity seemingly dictating Burton rather than the other way around. 2.5/4
Oliver Jones, Observer
It's not hard to enjoy Dumbo. Like the circus owners and carnival crackpots who try to exploit the flying elephant for all he's worth, Tim Burton still knows how to give us what we want.
-Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
This is about some flying elephant? Of course it sucks.
