Disney’s live-action Dumbo remake topped off its big day yesterday with its red carpet world premiere at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles, California. The social media embargo for Dumbo has officially been lifted and the first reactions have arrived via The DisInsider; you can check them out below:
I enjoyed #Dumbo. Fantastic art/production design, a surprising/necessary pro-animal rights message. One of the best live action films Burton has directed in years. Unlike most Disney adaptations, its in the unique position to be 35% an adaptation and 65% a sequel, which is cool. pic.twitter.com/Yqzbl7uY3Q

#Dumbo has a blessedly surprising pro-animal rights agenda wrapped in a subtle, rebellious meta-commentary on a band of outsiders shaking up a corporate establishment. Its aesthetic design is dazzling, gorgeous & meticulous. The CG elephant is absolutely adorable. pic.twitter.com/hN0gjHUiv4

#DUMBO soars. My favorite live-action Disney remake yet! From the gorgeous blend of goth and whimsy to the sequence in which Dumbo replaces his trunk with a 32 inch machete and has an affair with a bored housewife, the Tim Burton we know and love is FINALLY back in full force?❤️

As you can see, Dumbo has gathered some rather exciting and appealing initial reactions before general audiences can venture out into the circus and see the film for themselves. Ultimately, we’ll have to wait until March 29th when Dumbo arrives in theaters to see how the general audience perceives the film.
Dumbo arrives in theaters on March 29, 2019 and stars Eva Green, Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Lucy DeVito and Danny DeVito and is directed by Tim Burton
