Burton's live-action reimagining of the 1941 Disney classic film of the same name follows a flying elephant who performs in a circus during World War I. I wanted to adore this remake, but it wasn't very engageing. The unnecessary addition of new characters adds nothing to the story, and the dialogue — which includes Danny DeVito giving a too-on-the-nose speech about why animal cruelty is wrong — often feels forced. Finally, the animal cruelty depicted in the film drags out to a point where I almost stopped watching at the one-hour mark.
