Should I Review Disney+ Original Movies?

With Disney’s streaming service, Disney+, soon to be launched, we will also be getting many original films debuting there rather than in theaters. As you know, I only am reviewing the theatrical live-action films for this blog, hence no Disney Channel TV films or direct-to-video films.

So do you think I should treat these upcoming Disney+ films like theatrical films and review them for this blog? Or should I treat them like Disney Channel TV films and disqualify them from being reviewed here?

Surely a film about a flying elephant didn’t need to be remade as live-action! And to top it all off, exactly how good could the story be if it was written by the same person who wrote Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Transformers: Age of Extinction?

“Ever seen a dinobot fly?”

Audiences’ attitudes towards the film were apparent when the film grossed $353 million against a $170 million budget. Is the film really not that special? Or was I able to discover something that everyone else missed? Read on for my review of Tim Burton’s Dumbo!

And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
