Just heard him talk about it on The Tonight Show. He honestly made it sound like a pretty cool ride and I was already planning on going on it assuming it would be open by September. Excited to see they have a date set though I'm a tad surprised about that too dare I say Disney has sorta made me skeptical on firm dates?? Well that and how Hulk went and Skull Island: Reign of Kong was which was more of a sorta delay I guess in that they kept changing the season/time frame on their signs.
I personally have two issues with the "Dumbo" project....
Now, I'm not living in a bubble here, and I understand that the world doesn't revolve around my likes and wants. But after the successes of the non-IP remakes, I'm just having a hard time with them continually returning to the well of remaking all the animated classics from my childhood into live action...and...
- It's DUMBO...my absolute #1, no-holes-barred, childhood favorite movie that still makes me cry when Dumbo goes to visit his mother after they jailed her for trying to protect her son. It also became the favorite of my daughter, especially when she was pregnant with our grandson...I just don't think I can handle them messing with my memories....
- Not a fan of Tim Burton - never liked Nightmare, wasn't wild about Alice...or most of the others of his that I have seen.
Come on, man, IT'S DUMBO!!!
The old "Goose and the Golden Egg" thing...maybe they should do a live action movie based on that!
