That's like the most memorable part of the movie It's a wonderful sequence but it wouldn't serve any purpose since Timothy Mouse is gone and Dumbo flies way before the end of the movie.

cheesypoofs Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Dumbo honestly looks better than I imagined it would. IDK why but I'm still kinda surprised this is even being made lol maybe this movie will turn out better than I thought it would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddddeeee Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Keaton "It's basically telling the same story with Tim's touch on it, and not necessarily a touch like we've seen him do before - which, so far, is so physically beautiful, you can't believe it." https://www.metro.news/former-birdman-oscar-nominee-michael-keaton-is-back-with-american-assassin-playing-a-soldier-who-trains-a-vigilante-rookie/741642/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddddeeee Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Keaton, Farrell, Frey and now Heinrichs have all said that people are going to be really surprised to learn that Burton directed this when they see it... A quite main character is shunned by society and learns to accept his differences...and it's set in a circus. It couldn't get more Burton. I wonder what they mean. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aabattery Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Quote You just wrapped filming on Tim Burton’s Dumbo. The original story of Dumbo is a variation on the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale of The Ugly Duckling, the freaky social misfit whose unique talent and true nature redeems his status. Our version builds upon that story to encompass the light and dark ways that society embraces and exploits his uniqueness. Its period cries out for a certain expressionistic treatment and shadows and lights. A lot of the nuance comes out of the visual and the environment, particularly with Tim. If he could do a silent movie, I think he would. Expressionism seems to find its way into almost everything you do together. Tim and I are different. And by the way, I didn’t really know him that well at CalArts, but I did get to know him when we made it to Disney. So a lot of the movies that I’ve worked on with Tim are obviously driven by his own passion. His are science fiction and Jerry Lewis and movies from the fifties, essentially, and the sixties, and some television as well. Mine was more about graphic novels and comics and cartoons and that sort of thing. How instrumental is the script in determining the look of the movie? You want the environment to be a part of the storytelling. In Dumbo’s case, [cinematographer] Ben Davis, you’re talking about color, shadow, texture, all the things that will let you know this is a character who’s had a hard life, a challenging life. It’s threadbare, it’s a little dingy, it’s a little washed out. But there’s a certain glow to it. There’s a humanity to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I was skeptical before, but this sounds like it could be pretty good actually. Hopefully we get some cool visuals out of it, and a great Elfman type "circus" score anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
