I understood some of these but Dumbo? With Tim Burton? No. I'll be amazed if this makes back its budget.

Dumbo is one those classics that shouldn't be touched or remade.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...fuq. I like some of Burton's movies but this sounds like a nightmare for Dumbo and creepy.

If Pixar made it, it might have been better.

god dammit Burton ... either the script was so good that you had to do this movie before Beetlejuice 2 or you already have no money in a budget to do Beetlejuice 2.

I would rather watch that shit Mariah Carey movie glitter 567 times in a row than watch anything related to Tim Burton.

anyone touches Lion King (besides Andy Serkis) and i'm gonna go in for a kill.

I don't think I care. Not like we're the intended audience anyway. Those of us with kids and mean wives? We may get forced to suffer through movies like this. But, if you're older than 9, have no kids, and no woman forcing you to go see this movie...you really shouldn't care.

@jerryblake - "anyone touches Lion King (besides Andy Serkis) and i'm gonna go in for a kill."

Jeremy Irons should be live-action Scar too.
