Dumbo Review

Master of the macabre Tim Burton takes on the live action adaptation of Walt Disney’s 1941 much loved classic ‘Dumbo’; the heart felt story about a Baby Elephant with extraordinarily large ears that learns to fly.

Featuring the addition of new characters and stacking up a cast that includes a big top’s worth of talent including Danny DeVito, Michael Keaton, Colin Farrell and Eva Green, the film has a PG certificate and opens in cinemas on Friday the 29th March.

However, does ‘Dumbo’ fly high or crash hard? Find out right now, by clicking play on our Movie Critic Jon Brown’s review below:-
