A. Vandemere (Michael Keaton), who looks sultry but equally disgusting. What Tim Burton is best at is creating a fantastic, weird atmosphere. In the Dumbo trailer, the design and atmosphere of the original circus in the 1940s truly presented Burton's style - a mysterious sense of darkness.Dumbo magically found himself flying when he was playing with two children. The trailer also saw mouse friends who had been encouraging the help in the original animation. Tim in Dumbo, 1941Of course, if there is no tears, it is not disney’s style, and the trailer has not let everyone's tears. There’s something particularly depressing about seeing the Momma Elephant’ trunk stick out of the bars to wrap around poor little Dumbo, as the chilling tones of Norwegian singer Aurora’s “Baby Mine” waft over them. There is also a illusion of Dumbo's drunkenness in the trailer. Compared with the old illusion of childhood shadows, the new version is both psychedelic and beautiful. At the end of the original story, Dumbo became the super star in the circus and rescued the imprisoned mother. This time, netizens expressed the hope that in the new edition, Dumbo will have a better ending.In an interview a few years ago, Tim Burton also revealed that he really wanted to give the newborn elephant a true "happy ending" - no need to perform for humans, but to leave the circus and return to the nature life they should belong to.However, if the outcome is as satisfactory as expected, we will not know until the end of March.
