Dumbo soars to new heights until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.Review: "The film's a joy to behold, if not to ponder. Burton and his crew find magic in their paintbox that's missing in the story."--Toronto StarReview: "[It] has charms and melancholies of its own, starting, naturally, with the elephant in the room. Of all the CGI make-overs, this Dumbo is the most textured, sweetest and most soulful of creatures."--Associated PressReview: "Burton has merrily turned what could have been another remake into something genuinely different and surprising."--New York TimesReview: "Like the original 1941 "Dumbo," from Walt Disney, this movie will probably outlast every single person connected with it and will move and delight children who haven't yet been born - and maybe their kids, too."--San Francisco Chronicle
