It goes without saying that the crows are nowhere to be found in the new Dumbo, and their narrative function is fulfilled by human characters instead.
Mouse, wake up in a tree after a drunken, pink-elephant filled night, and find themselves surrounded by a murder of jovial crows, who speak and sing in the style of an African-American choir. Chief among them is the infamous crow scene, in which the titular big-eared pachyderm and his rodent pal, Timothy Q. Part of the reason why Burton’s Dumbo takes such liberties with the 1941 version is due to the fact that the earlier film features a number of sequences that couldn’t be put onscreen today in their original form. Here are the five biggest differences we spotted between the 19 versions. For example, the entire second hour of live-action Dumbo tells an entirely new story, with Dumbo and his circus family being purchased by Michael Keaton’s corporate tycoon who transports them to “Dreamland” - a dark-hearted theme park with more than a few parallels to Disneyland. Where previous Mouse House animation-to-live action translations like 2017’s Beauty and the Beastand 2016’s The Jungle Book have mostly stuck to the script and storyboards of their predecessors, Burton’s film makes a number of significant alterations to the 1941 original. And although early reviews and box office predictions have been mixed, we’ll say this about the movie: It’s not the Dumbo you’ve seen before.
