| | | Go Woke, Go Broke: Woke Disney Crushed as Top Filmmaker Leaves, Calls Dirty Disney “Horrible Big Circus”
One of the better, indeed perhaps even the only good, Disney live-action remakes was Tim Burton’s Dumbo. It largely stuck to the story, wasn’t particularly woke, wasn’t filmed in Xinjiang (where the concentration camps are) like Mulan. No wonder stock holders are crushing the company; with all those bad movies, who would still want to hold its stock?!
In any case, fans who loved Tim Burton’s “Dumbo” will be sorely disappointed if they were hoping for a sequel, or even just another Disney movie from him. Done with the company and calling it a “horrible big circus,” Burton is gone, taking his skill and leaving.
Such is what IndieWire recently reported about Burton and his decision to leave, saying:
Speaking at the Lumière Festival in Lyon after receiving the Prix Lumière, Burton revealed that the 2019 film likely marked the end of his long-running creative relationship with Disney (via Deadline). He began his film career as an animator at Disney before Warner Bros. hired him to make his live-action directorial debut on “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.” He returned to work with Disney on films like “Ed Wood,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Frankenweenie,” and most recently, “Dumbo.”
Burton believes that the entertainment landscape has shifted to the point where it no longer makes sense for him to collaborate with the entertainment giant. He explained that his experience working on “Dumbo” made him realize that Disney had gotten too big for him. |
