Then Michael KeatonвЂ™s brash entrepreneur VA Vandevere, вЂthe Columbus of Coney IslandвЂ™, pitches up, offering to buy the circus, and the movie blazes into life. Even a cast of oddball circus regulars вЂ“ strongman, mermaid, snake charmer etc вЂ“ fails to fire his imagination. In truth, Burton, that great lover of scrappy outsiders, struggles to mine much beyond ponderous sincerity from these sluggish early scenes. Money is short and his last hope is the magical baby elephant tended to by damaged Great War veteran Holt Farrier (an oddly forgettable Colin Farrell) and his two willing kids, Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins).Д«oth are grieving for their mum, providing an obvious connection with Dumbo when the baby elephantвЂ™s own mother is sold. Danny DeVito is pompous impresario Max Medici, whose travelling circus is going a bit вЂGrapes of WrathвЂ™ in the dust bowls of the Midwest. The fact that you know the story of вЂDumboвЂ™ inside out presents a challenge that вЂTransformersвЂ™ screenwriter Ehren Kruger tries to overcome by introducing swathes of new human characters. Then again, maybe thatвЂ™s the point: he is the least aerodynamic character to fly in a movie since Brian Blessed in вЂFlash GordonвЂ™.

ItвЂ™s only when flying that he seems a bit clunky. All giant expressive eyes and beach-towel ears, heвЂ™s a computer-generated creation that exudes picture-book warmth. LetвЂ™s tackle the baby elephant in the room first: how does DisneyвЂ™s new Dumbo look in a live-action movie? Happily, the teeny pachyderm is a suitably heart-melting presence in Tim BurtonвЂ™s relatively orthodox redo of the 1941 animation classic.
