The crows...(sigh)...the crows. I totally understand people would find them very offensive, but to me, while I do think they are pretty bad racial depictions, they're NOT AS BAD as what other studios were doing with African Americans at the time (Look up the censored eleven and you'll know what I mean). However, it's one of those things where I wish Disney wouldn't make the crows like that because it does put Dumbo (one of my personal favorite Disney films as well) in a bad spot along with Peter Pan where important plot elements are focused on these negative stereotypes. Something I wish Disney would do more often is, instead of forgetting that these characters existed, they should bring them back, but make them more appropriate for a modern audience. Splash Mountain, the Native Americans in a Peter Pan PS1 game and the crow's cameo in House of Mouse are good examples on how you can tone these characters down to present them alright in today's society. Though, that's just me and, again, I don't blame anyone that do feel uncomfortable whenever the crows show up.
I agree with everything you said. I think one reason why I don't mind the crows so much is because I think they're actually pretty likable. They're fun loving, classy, witty, and sing one of the catchiest songs in the film. On top of that, their kinda the heroes of the movie. They're the ones that help give Dumbo his confidence back. Yes, it took Timothy to get him to keep going when he loses his confidence symbol, but Dumbo wouldn't have gone back to the circus if it weren't for them. If they included them in modern media and focused more on those redeemable qualities, they would be seen more as characters that represent playful stereotypes instead of malicious stereotypes, like The Swedish Chef, Speedy Gonzales, or Panchito and Jose.
In all honesty, I think I would've preferred "Dumbo II." Even if the story was as terrible as it sounds, I assume it at least would've been neat to see the modern animation team's interpretation of the world and art style.
@@Dimensioneer88 That's why I usually prefer the sequels to the remakes. The only exceptions to me are _Cinderella, The Jungle Book_ and _Lady & The Tramp. Christopher Robin_ doesn't count as a remake because that at least had an original story.
21:36 What is with circus movies (this and The Greatest Showman) forgetting to give circus performers personalities? It's like the writers think "oh, they look funny and work at a circus, that makes them interesting enough, we don't need to do anything else with them!"
About the amusement park; Coney Island is the name of the (former) island/neighborhood, with multiple competing amusement parks. There was a dreamland there and it was destroyed in a fire... in 1911. Today it’s mostly public housing and a double decker elevated subway station
You've got Asperger's too? No wonder you're such a treasure trove of trivia! I've got it too. Sending a virtual hug of solidarity and kindred spiritualism your way as I type this. 😊
It’s funny. For the rest of my life, I thought I had Asperger’s, too. Until I found out later in life that my doctor misdiagnosed me with that and what I really had was OCPD, which is often mistaken for Asperger’s.
"CGI certainly can be cute when done right, but when a CGI elephant is forced to be photo-realistic, there's only so much you can exaggerate." Welcome to how I feel about the Lion King remake so far, especially after the recent trailer.
Fun fact: Burton become so disillusioned with the craft of filmmaking as a result of making this, that he nearly considered retiring. It wasn't until he did _Wednesday_ and _Beetlejuice Beetlejuice_ that he regained his passion.
Well...considering Dumbo was a summon in Kingdom Hearts 1...the theory of a Dumbo world in KH4 isn't THAT far-fetched. I mean, Simba was a summon in KH1 before the Pridelands showed up in KH2.
Fun fact: Operation Dumbo Drop was one of the first films I saw in the theater, right alongside North, The Brady Bunch Movie, Indian in the Cupboard, Pocahontas, and The Stupids 😂😭
I know this is off topic for this video, but I just looked up the plot for The Stupids and ... I sincerely don't know what to say about it. I want to say seeing it would help me make sense of it, but I think I'd be lying. I honestly think just reading the plot on Wikipedia broke me for a moment or two.
I thought Dumbo looked amazing in this. Absolutely adorable. I think it was just how realistic the elephants looked (IMO) that made this twice as emotional as the original for me. And while I couldn't disagree more with your opinion, I definitely respect it.
I'm a huge fan of the original too, although Pinocchio is my absolute favorite Walt-era film. That trailer to the remake made me legit-no-shit cry my eyes out, and since I am a glutton for emotional punishment, curiosity got the better of me. It was amazing. WAY better than it had any right to be. I missed the shit of out Timothy, who's my second-favorite Disney sidekick next to Jiminy Cricket, but I can see why they didn't include any talking animals in this. It was so heartbreaking and sweet. And the ending... just... *kisses fingertips* PERFECT.
this movie would've been much better if Danny DeVito said to Michael Keaton during the Pink Elephant Sequence "What we're ya smokin' when you came up with this?"
I never watched the original Dumbo as a kid. So out of all the Disney remakes popping out lately, this was one that I didn't care about at all. Though the fact that the writer of Transformers 2 through 4 worked on it doesn't help either.
I'm a simple man, I see a classic Simpsons Clip that perfectly references what's going on and I laugh hysterically. Also, going to binge watch a TON of classic Simpsons episodes when Disney+ drops.
Whoopi Goldberg defends the crows too. In fact, the only people I've seen call the crows racist are white people who want to appear adult and sophisticated.
Rewatching our take on this I got flashbacks. I was scowling the whole final act of the film and even quietly said "Oh come on!" when they decided to do the Free Willy thing.
Out of the three entries in the (2019) trilogy, this was the one I was the least excited for, and the one I had the lowest expectations for. I'm optimistic for Aladdin, and I'm really excited for The Lion King. I never thought that Burton was a good pick for Dumbo, especially considering he can't movie anymore. Here's hoping the other two are better than this. Lion King is going in with the director of The Jungle Book (the best of the remakes so far), and an absolutely killer cast. Really excited.
I'm gonna be honest, out of all the Disney remakes coming out this year this got me the most interested and I believe when in motion the new dumbo looks pretty cute
I don't know if the casual movie viewer has seen ANY films from 1941, and Dumbo is #1 on the list partly because it was shown a lot on kid's TV. That said, Dumbo beats viewers of Citizen Kane, The Maltese Falcon, The Lady Eve, How Green Was My Valley, etc.
I agree with you about how blank and emotionless the kids were. I mean, granted, they lost their mom, and their dad went off to war then came back as an amputee, and the circus had fallen on hard times... but still... that's definitely one of the things that bugged me about it.
26:30 -- I used that exact clip in my "Home on the Range" review, (the line is inexplicably referenced in that movie.) Kind of funny that it would turn up in two Disney reviews :D.
In all seriousness, I liked your description on Dumbo and why you liked it so much but doesn’t its themes on prejudice and cruelty also apply to a lot of other Disney films? Beauty & the Beast even had a song about that (“We don’t like / what we don’t / understand / in fact it scares us!”) which is often read as Howard Ashman’s last “fuck you” to homophobes. Was it Dumbo’s way of telling it that resonated with you more than the others?
Tony Goldmark Yeah, I’ll give Dumbo that much. It was subtle and didn’t need to have a pretentious song about prejudice being wrong like some Disney films needed to have. At least in BatB, it’s a great song and I get the lack of subtlety was meant to be humorous in a way. Songs like “Savages” and “You’ll Be In My Heart” were way too po-faced and on-the-nose to be taken seriously, even though I know people liked them a lot. That’s just me. Thanks fo the reply!
Nothing puts a smile on my face like a new Tony Goldmark video in my subscription feed! Well, okay, there was the first time I watched Spider-Verse... first time I went to Disney... voting Trump out of office next year might do the trick... My point is, this is exciting.
There is actually a Dumbo elephant vehicle in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, across the way from the “John Bull” steam locomotive if I remember right.
I don't care if it's the middle of the night and I've got school tomorrow, I'm watching a 1 hour video of some people ranting about a CGI elephant!!!!!
I thought it was meh. It's not God awful but it's not particularly good. Also, I agree with Dave, the second half of the movie feels like what was supposed to be the plot of that unmade Direct to video Dumbo sequel.
If the rumours are true, I really don't know how Disney would cut the crows out of the animated film once it goes on Disney+. Whether or not you consider the crows to be racist or not, they are essential the plot and help Dumbo learn how to fly. If they go and cut them out, it would be cutting out the most critical 10 minutes of the already short film, cut out the key song, and leave the film a mess. What, would Dumbo just randomly get drunk and then end up in the circus again with the magic feather? Would Disney animate an entirely new set of scenes to rewrite the plot? If they cut out the crows and their scene entirely, would they now be accidentally promoting Dumbo's flight coming from getting hammered?
Tony, there's 4..... *F O U R.* There's a Lady and The Tramp remake coming out for November. It will headline the launch of Disney+ and I actually don't know if it has it's own coinciding theatrical release.
I gotta be honest, Dumbo II looks like it would be better (or at least more interesting) than this movie. And who knows, maybe they’d have pulled off a Cinderella III or Lilo and Stitch 2 and made something not-terrible.
My takeaway from this is, if you go see Aladdin parentheses twenty-nineteen or Lion King parentheses twenty-nineteen, just go ahead and invite Crow, Gipsy and Tom Servo. Luckily for all of us Tony Goldmark fans, the worse the film is, the better the review will be. 😎
I don't think that would count because it's not a theatrical film, unless Disney pulls something similar to what Netflix did to Roma and release it in limited theaters.
The crows take me back to a place where I was too young (and naive) to know what racism even was, so they were those weird-but-helpful crows. As an adult, they're racist as can be, but there's that disconnect between naive child and being grown up. I'm not shocked this was another middling movie. I wasn't drawn in because it was so dull and muddy in color, when it could have been as vibrant as the circus actually is.
I’ll be honest: I’d live in Dreamland. That little girl at one point had tears running down her cheeks, but her face didn’t change. Also, baby elephants sound terrifying. I wish that would have been in the movie; Dumbo sounding like a T-Rex.
New Dumbo's made at least $100 million by now (and growing) only from parents/grandparents recognize the name and drag their kids to see the new one. Don't know how the other Disney dead-close remakes make a bajillion dollars when most people my age have seen and known them by default but what do I know about cinematic capitalism? I was at the movies last weekend to see Missing Link and an older woman was reserving Tuesday tickets for Dumbo just shocked and amazed for five minutes that the theater allowed for reserved seating. I'd like to think that person only heard that Dumbo was in theaters and figured the original was back in theaters. Oops.
It's a bit odd that they named Dumbo the way they did, considering the other 2 acts are essentially a straight-to-home sequel (might've been a Disney+ exclusive if this was made at the right time).
Speaking of the Artemis Fowl movie, since it's going to be Disney's answer to Harry Potter, it's TECHNICALLY a theme park movie, and thus eligible for a OML video. It could REALLY use the free advertising.
To be honest, I've never actually seen the original Dumbo all the way through. I didn't realize how much it's stuck with member of the disabled community. I'm also on the spectrum, with a form of Asperger's, and I'm always looking for media representing disabled persons in a positive light in some way.
Disney films tend to find empathy for those who don’t fit the mold, especially in their 90s work. Beast: AIDS victims Aladdin: classism Quasimodo: lookism Tarzan: foster kids
3:40 Yeah they racist, but as a little suburban, middle class white boy with a "perfect christian home," I thought the crows were not only really fun, but more memorable than most of the movie when I saw it at the age of 6 nonstop for 6 months and then proceeded to break the VHS tape...and I still love 'em, even though they're soooooooo racist......
“Seymour! The house is on fire!”
“No mother, it’s just Tim Burton’s career.”

Dark Shadows: "It's just a little one-dimensional! It's still good, it's still good!"

Oh, wow, so the Dumbo’s Circus show WAS something I saw as a kid and not a fever-dream after all.
I used to watch reruns of it when I was really young, along with Welcome to Pooh Corner.
Shhh, we don't talk about that abomination. Ever.
Felt the same way when I learned about Welcome to Pooh Corner.
In all honesty, I think I would've preferred "Dumbo II."
Even if the story was as terrible as it sounds, I assume it at least would've been neat to see the modern animation team's interpretation of the world and art style.

"CGI certainly can be cute when done right, but when a CGI elephant is forced to be photo-realistic, there's only so much you can exaggerate."
Welcome to how I feel about the Lion King remake so far, especially after the recent trailer.
I finally understand that bit about the different characters of Dumbo 2 that you've been putting on twitter IT ALL MAKES SENSE
If Coney Island is clean, that would certainly make their universe's version of The Warriors into a very different movie...
Yes it would
So amazed to also hear that you have Asperger's like me, no wonder why I liked your wit in reviews and stuff.
I maintain that we all need the Dumbo sequel that follows up the news headline about Dumbo dropping bombs on the Axis during WWII.
8:52 The most notable thing to come out of that show was that it started Jim Cummings’ voice-acting career.
That’s pretty cool.
Fun fact: Burton become so disillusioned with the craft of filmmaking as a result of making this, that he nearly considered retiring.

Not even two minutes in and I'm laughing my head off. Not surprising from the Jerky Camera Ding Dong man.

CGI Dumbo's is like a cursed item. I am both attracted and repelled. It is cute yet ungodly all at the same time

I was called that word as well in school. I hope your life's gotten better. *virtual hug*
Rewatching our take on this I got flashbacks. I was scowling the whole final act of the film and even quietly said "Oh come on!" when they decided to do the Free Willy thing.

This is a hot take but I actually find the semi-realistic dumbo cute too. In the movie at least. That Disneyland statue is still creepy
It was halfway through this is realized I was drawing an loxodon while watching a dumbo video
Egads, a fellow Aspie! ^_^
I'm sorry, but "and my fiance" was the cutest thing in this entire video. Had my hands flapping and all.
I'm gonna be honest, out of all the Disney remakes coming out this year this got me the most interested and I believe when in motion the new dumbo looks pretty cute
More interesting than Will Smith as Genie in Aladdin
And shows more emotion than the soulless talking animals.
Glad to see you managed to get the footage out of that camera eventually.
Had to borrow a piece of Dave's equipment to read the memory card.

Flora Posteschild sad but true.
If anything, both Dumbo and Citizen Kane have more viewers combined than How Green Was My Valley. 1941 Oscar Winner for Best Picture my foot.
and to think Dumbo almost got a S2V sequel, I kind of wonder what the plot would have been

He's Kevin's fiancé, and they haven't made videos in a while unfortunately
I only wanted to see Pink Elephants by Tim Burton
But nooooo had to make it as lame as possible
Is it wrong that I think remake Dumbo actually looks cute?
The crows take me back to a place where I was too young (and naive) to know what racism even was, so they were those weird-but-helpful crows. As an adult, they're racist as can be, but there's that disconnect between naive child and being grown up.
I'm not shocked this was another middling movie. I wasn't drawn in because it was so dull and muddy in color, when it could have been as vibrant as the circus actually is.
I’ll be honest: I’d live in Dreamland.
That little girl at one point had tears running down her cheeks, but her face didn’t change.
Also, baby elephants sound terrifying. I wish that would have been in the movie; Dumbo sounding like a T-Rex.
thank you for the song.
Luckily I already transferred to another factory.
Unfortunately, I did hear the 'let's get ready for dumbo' in a trailer...yet I was dragged there anyway....I did it under protest.
48:28 *LET'S GET READY FOR DUMBO!*
New Dumbo's made at least $100 million by now (and growing) only from parents/grandparents recognize the name and drag their kids to see the new one. Don't know how the other Disney dead-close remakes make a bajillion dollars when most people my age have seen and known them by default but what do I know about cinematic capitalism?
I was at the movies last weekend to see Missing Link and an older woman was reserving Tuesday tickets for Dumbo just shocked and amazed for five minutes that the theater allowed for reserved seating. I'd like to think that person only heard that Dumbo was in theaters and figured the original was back in theaters. Oops.
Fantasia is my favorite Disney movie dumbo comes in second with Bambi
Wait, I definitely heard that groan worthy "Let's get ready for Dumbo!" bit in an ad somewhere, but that's actually in the movie? Fuck this movie.
Don't forget the live action Lady and the Tramp coming this year to Disney+!
Thank you for the Prince sample!
I actually think that Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Walt era Disney film.
It's a bit odd that they named Dumbo the way they did, considering the other 2 acts are essentially a straight-to-home sequel (might've been a Disney+ exclusive if this was made at the right time).
A Disney movie with Batman and the Penguin. What could go wrong.?
**The gang remakes Dumbo in live action**
Let’s all pray they don’t remake Bambi in the future, that would be a crime.
Funny how I'm watching this the day they announce they are cutting the crows from the Original in the Disney+ release.
Speaking of the Artemis Fowl movie, since it's going to be Disney's answer to Harry Potter, it's TECHNICALLY a theme park movie, and thus eligible for a OML video. It could REALLY use the free advertising.
Nice try.
@@TonyGoldmark Meh. Worth a shot.
Upon reflection, I REALLY regret making this comment.
So you're not counting the Lady and the Tramp remake for Disney+? It could be the (2019) Quadrilogy.
Only counting theatrical releases, sorry.
@@TonyGoldmark Oh, okay then, though you should mention it if you do some kind of video on Disney+.
What circus song was that Tony sang at the end?
"Goodbye Cruel World" originally by James Darren: th-cam.com/video/wMyYnfpMtEE/w-d-xo.html
You forgot the lady and tramp remake on Disney plus
I totally forgot Dumbo II was almost a thing!!
To be honest, I've never actually seen the original Dumbo all the way through. I didn't realize how much it's stuck with member of the disabled community. I'm also on the spectrum, with a form of Asperger's, and I'm always looking for media representing disabled persons in a positive light in some way.
Disney films tend to find empathy for those who don’t fit the mold, especially in their 90s work.
Beast: AIDS victims
Aladdin: classism
Quasimodo: lookism
Tarzan: foster kids
3:40
Yeah they racist, but as a little suburban, middle class white boy with a "perfect christian home," I thought the crows were not only really fun, but more memorable than most of the movie when I saw it at the age of 6 nonstop for 6 months and then proceeded to break the VHS tape...and I still love 'em, even though they're soooooooo racist......
THE CROWS ARE NOT RACIST!!!
CALM DOWN AND TURN OFF CAPS LOCK
Tony Goldmark I CAN’T!!! I THINK IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS!!!
Off-topic, besides all the Disney movies you are going to see for One Movie Later can you also do a One Movie Later for the newest Men in Black movie?
That will be an option in an upcoming Twitter poll.
