I saw Dumbo several times when I was young – and had a record with Disney songs, so was very familiar with the soundtrack – so it's a film which has broken my heart and lifted my spirits many times.
I saw Tim Burton's reimagining of the story at the end of 2019 and didn't hate it, but didn't feel like revisiting it at any point in the future either.
A Disney film in which the villain is a corporate giant who buys his smaller competitors shows either Burton was being cunningly subversive or there is no one at Disney with any self-awareness.
