T he trailer for the feature lm Dum- bo, a remake of the famous animated lm about the baby elephant able to y, promises that the lm will be very emotional, just as was the case with the cartoon version. This live action version is a little di er- ent than the original, but certainly still contains those unforgettable moments that marked the animated lm – like the magical feather, or the scene in which a sad Dumbo visits his mother in front of her cage and she strokes him with her trunk. Interestingly, having been released in 1941, Dumbo is one of the oldest Disney clas- sics. It was in fact the fourth such classic, hav- ing been preceded by Snow White, Pinocchio and Fantasia. It is a great surprise that, when directed by Tim Burton, the lm about the ying baby ele- phant isn’t some Lovecraft nightmare, but rath- er a wonderful and warm story, while there’s no surprise that one of the roles was given to Danny DeVito, who plays the circus owner and sports a huge hat. Critics even joked at his expense, com- menting that DeVito certainly already had that kind of hat at home, kept in a glass box read- ing ‘Break in case of Burton’. The new Dumbo, which had its world pre- miere on 29 th March and arrives in our cinemas only ve days later, will also delight all fans of Colin Farrell, who looks completely normal in the lm and, of course, is still a great looking guy. Burton tells the story of the circus owner (Danny DeVito), who hires former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children to care of a newborn el- ephan,t whose huge ears make him an object of ridicule at the circus, which is already struggling to survive. But when they discover that Dumbo can y, the circus’s popularity returns, attracting entrepreneur V. A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton). Dumbo will soar to new heights together with charming and spectacular trapeze artist Colette Merchant (Eva Green), until Holt discovers that dark secrets are hidden beneath the canvas of the circus’s big top… That’s because this is a Burton lm, so there must be at least a little dark drama, which is exactly what we all hope for. This famous di- rector is the reason why Eva Green agreed to star in the lm, and had to overcome her fear of heights to do so… “It was very gruelling, but worth the e ort, primarily due to Tim Barton. That’s because Dum- bo is a very Burtonesque lm – it encourages you to accept your uniqueness, your individuality. You don’t have to be perfect to be loved. Burton is a poet who always brings a unique vision, and he’s perfect for this lm project, because no one un- derstands people who do not t in, or vulnera- ble souls like Dumbo, better than him. Likewise, this lm also tells children to believe in them- selves. If you believe in yourself, you can over- come every obstacle, and that’s already complete- ly Disneyesque. So, it’s a great combination.”
Burton is perfect for this lm project, because no one understands people who do not t in, or vulnerable souls like Dumbo, better than him, says actress Eva Green Barton je savršen za ovaj film jer niko ne razume ljude koji se ne uklapaju niti ranjive duše poput Dambove bolje od njega, kaže glumica Eva Grin
biti malo mračne drame, što je baš ono čemu se svi i nadamo. Čuveni reditelj je razlog što je da igra u filmu pristala Eva Grin, ko- ja je morala je da savlada strah od visine… - Bilo je veoma naporno, ali vredno truda pre svega zbog Tima Bartona. Jer Dambo je vrlo barto- novski film – podstiče vas da pri- hvatite svoju jedinstvenost, svoju individualnost. Ne morate biti sa- vršeni da biste bili voljeni. Barton je pesnik koji uvek donosi jedin- stvenu viziju i savršen je za ovaj film jer niko ne razume ljude ko- ji se ne uklapaju niti ranjive du- še poput Dambove bolje do nje- ga. Takođe, ovaj film govori deci da veruju u sebe. Ako verujete u sebe, možete prevazići svaku pre- preku, a to je već sasvim diznijev- ski. Dakle, sjajna kombinacija.
