Tim Burtons latest offering, Dumbo, has finally hit cinemas.
Judi Dench is too scared to turn down jobs
If you, like so many of us, have watched the trailer for Dumbo through misty eyes, then you might have slightly mixed feelings about the fact that you can now go see the Dumbo remake.
The star-studded movie boasts the likes of Michael Keaton, Eva Green and Colin Farrell in its cast, and follows a young elephant with unusually large ears who tries to keep a circus afloat, only to find that the circus isnt everything its cracked up to be.
Metro.co.uks own review by Mel Evans gave the movie three and a half stars out of five, saying: those who are after a classical and traditional Disney romp you best not get your hopes up. This is a little different.

The review goes on to say that, while some characters fall a little flat, Dumbo still has a lot going for it.
She writes: With its grit, life-like circus atmosphere and true outsider message only Burton can bring to life its the perfect antidote for those who arent fans of soppy stories but want to relive a childhood favourite.
If it sounds like Dumbo might be the film for you, then stay put, because weve got everything you need to know about it…
