I think that the original version of Disney's Dumbo is a unique and unsung masterpiece in filmmaking history. One of the most gorgeously crafted pieces of animation art ever conceived. It is not a mere story to be retold through a big budget visual effects loaded live-action Hollywood blockbuster, it is a timeless work of art. Why pick on this incredible piece of animation history just to come up with a story? This is clearly a shameless grab at producing a 'product' they KNOW people will go see, because of their built in love of Dumbo, already planted there through the genius and vision of the original animated film. With all due respect to Tim Burton, he has had his go at a couple of Disney masterpieces now, Alice and Sleepy Hollow, and he did alright, they didn't stink. But please Tim, leave dear little Dumbo alone....
