The 2019 version is set in 1919, decades before the original Dumbo took place in its 1941 present-day. This time around, the chronology of the film is instrumental to the plot. Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) returns home to his two children and the circus after losing his left arm in World War I. During his absence, Holt’s two children, Milly (Nicole...
Considering all of the main characters in the 1941 film are animals, the most obvious and immediate difference in the new Dumbo film is its lack of humanistic animals. Things may be magical in Tim Burton’s film, but they’re not so magical that the CGI-animated Dumbo communicates with other elephants, mice, birds and other animals, as he does in the...
The 2019 adaptation of Dumbo is not a musical, though there are a couple of nods to the original’s songs throughout the film. The song “Baby Mine” by Frank Churchill with lyrics by Ned Washington was nominated for Best Song at the 1942 Academy Awards and it gets a revamp in the new version. A woman who plays the role of a mermaid in the circus perf...
1941’s cartoon Dumbo is born when a seemingly-magical singing stork flies down from the sky to deliver him to Mrs. Jumbo. 2019’s animated Dumbo removes that detail — there is no such stork — and he is just birthed the natural way mammals are.
It’s all humans, not other elephants, who make fun of Dumbo in the 2019 film. Right after he’s born, the members of the circus — led by DeVito’s Max — cannot believe how large Dumbo’s ears look. While the original plays out similarly, it’s entirely other elephants who mock Dumbo and his mother. Eventually, in the new version, even audience members ...
It’s hard to forget the sweetest mouse there ever was who helped Dumbo achieve his flight in the original movie. In the 2019 version, the only mouse is a pet (costumed similarly to the original) who never speaks. In the character’s place, there are two children — Holt’s kids, Milly and Joe — who bond with the baby elephant. The “magic” feather from...
Michael Keaton’s creepy V.A. Vandevere is certainly the villain of this story. Though DeVito, the circus ringleader, is the one who originally locks up and sells Mrs. Jumbo, it’s Vandevere, now a co-runner of Dreamland, who ultimately sends her to be killed. Naturally, the film has to have a happy ending — Vandevere’s plan is thwarted by the cast o...
In 2019’s Dumbo, the animal doesn’t just fly to show off his own talents — he also flies with some humans on his back. As part of Vandevere’s effort to make Dreamland absolutely extraordinary, he makes a famous French trapeze performer named Colette Marchant (played by Eva Green) learn to fly atop the elephant like a horse. The vision of the two of...
Animals aren’t treated properly in Dreamland. Even Dumbo’s mother, Mrs. Jumbo gets locked up in cages as part of entertainment for guests of the theme park. In the end of the film, when Dumbo and his mother are freed, Max Medici reopens his own circus that’s humane to all animals and performers, allowing monkeys, snakes, horses and more live freely...
After the original circus members work hard to free Dumbo and his mother, the final scene of the film is a beautiful view of the elephants among their own kind in a haven, presumably somewhere in Africa, where they’ll be safe to live free of humans.

Mar 29, 2019 · The biggest decision with Dumbo 2019 - especially in the context of the Disney - is the choice to remove all songs and talking animals. In place of these staples comes a much more standard performing arts drama led by Colin Farrell's returning World War I veteran Holt Farrier and Danny DeVito's hard-pressed circus owner Max Medici (the only explicitly returning character, being an update of ...
