So the fact that an elephant with freakishly huge ears turns up should fill everyone with joy. Surely in the circus era of 1919 seeing freaks (people with disfigurements, illnesses, wounds etc.) would be a pretty common thing and most probably relished. It's not a nasty circus per se, it's just running out of steam. In this incarnation the circus is clearly a bit of a dodgy carnival with bad acts, little fanfare, and little budget.

Like seriously what is the deal with that? How is that so shocking? The same can be said for this new movie but on an even large scale. K the first thing that always bugged me about this movie (yep I'm referring to the original) was the fact that the circus folk (and the other animals) were so shocked by an elephant with large ears. At first all are shocked by this unusual defect, but sure enough in time the little pachyderm brings much joy and success to all around it.
That miracle turns out to be a little baby elephant with huge wing-like ears. His large female Asian elephant is pregnant and will soon be delivering a miracle. But unbeknownst to Medici he has an ace up his sleeve just waiting to be played. After a series of recent major setbacks the future is not looking too rosy for Ringmaster Max Medici. So in 1919 (yes its a period flick too) a small travelling circus is struggling its way across the US. I will also point out I only watched this more out of curiosity as I did grow up with the original and I think its a fine animated Disney film, a true classic. I realise this might read like I'm stating the obvious but judging by the state of the box office for this movie it seems a lot of younger folks might not actually know this. For those not in the know this is a Disney cash grab.sorry remake.of the classic 1941 animated movie surrounding a flying baby elephant.
