Di Mi’s textual research on Easter eggs is mainly focused on the same and different details of this movie and the 40 version of "Dumbo."
I started to watch it at 1 o’clock today. The school’s movie theater turned out to be reserved by me. It seems that everyone only heard that the 4.24 Women’s Federation 4 was released yesterday, and the attention was not focused on the live version of Dumbo.
The core of the story is the same in both versions, that is, courage and growth. The characters of Dumbo Danbo in the two versions are more consistent, and both are characters that have grown up with the help of friends. However, the growth of the protagonist in the live-action version of the plot is further advanced, and the live-action version is generally closer to the human story. (Eva Green always comes out with smoky makeup!)
Although there is no Dark Goth in the work directed by Tim Burton, from the members of the circus with different personalities, the monkey’s "jump scare", and the weird creatures exhibited as the background, you can see some of Tim Burton’s unique characteristics. trace.
Start to compare
The first is the train in the film. Both the live-action version and the animated version of the train are called Casey Junior, and the locomotive has a human face.
At the beginning of the live-action movie, the song hummed by the head of the circus is the music when the animated train starts:
Casey Junior's comin' down the track Comin' down the track With a smokey stack Hear him puffin' comin''round the hill Casey's here to thrill Every Jack and Jill Every time his funny little whistle sounds Everybody hurries to the Circus grounds Time for lemonade and crackerjacks Casey Junior's back Casey Junior's back
And this 41st version of the song has also been hummed. I don’t remember where it is. It seems that there are also eggs from this song in the lines.
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.
I saw a front porch swing,
heard a diamond ring,
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie.
But I think I will have seen everything
when I see an elephant fly.
I seen a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck
I didn't see that, I only heard
But just to be sociable I'll take your word
I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat
And I just laughed till I thought I'd die
But I'd be done see'n about everything
when I see an elephant fly
The stork flies across the map of Florida, implying that the story is happening here. This detail also hinted at the beginning of the live-action movie that the Medici Brothers Circus departed from southern Florida
A stork flies across the sky and then follows the stork to form a herringbone shape, which is also reflected in the beginning of the live-action movie
In the animated version, the Dumbo was given to Mrs. Jumbo directly by Mr. Stork the next day. In the live-action version, the stork passed by Mrs. Jumbo's carriage. Dumbo was born that night and was found the next day. Dumbo has blue eyes, this is from the animated version
On the night when Mr. Stork arrived in the animated version, Mrs. Jumbo did not get the child sent by Mr. Stork as expected.
The dressed mouse in the live-action version is a tribute to Dumbo’s only mouse friend in the movie version. However, this mouse has no role in the live-action version, which is a pity.
A very obvious contrast can be seen here. In the animated version, Dumbo’s friend and mentor is the mouse. Other animals are close to the same kind of Dumbo, and humans are completely in a position of "other" because of the animated version. The perspective of animals is completely adopted. In the live-action version, this situation is reversed. The live-action version adopts a human perspective. Except for Dumbo, the images of animals are not so brilliant.
The first time the children in the live-action version meet to eat peanuts for Dumbo is also a tribute to the story of the mouse eating peanuts for Dumbo in the animated version.
In the movie, Dumbo's feathers are painted automatically, which is very obvious.
Dumbo is treated as a clown (the live-action version of Dumbo is not as cute as the animated version)
The firefighter clowns in the movie have an automatic drawing version. In the animated version, the attitude of the firefighter clowns towards Dumbo is completely opposite to that in the live version, which is very mean.
In the animated version, the Dumbo was directly beaten down, not because of an accident in the live version.
In the live-action version, after the successful performance of Dumbo in the bath, a clown brought wine to celebrate, but was blocked by the actor, saying that the child should not be allowed to learn badly (drinking). The plot here is a clever counterpart to the animated version. In the animated version, Dumbo accidentally drank the wine that the clowns drank during their celebration. (The plot of underage drinking is properly politically incorrect in the current Hollywood movies)
In the animated version, the bubbles that the Dumbo blew out after being drunk turned into pink elephants. Here is the most surrealistic plot in the animated version. It lasts for 6 minutes. The illusionary scenes presented have far-reaching impact (why the impact is far-reaching, wait I'll know it at the meeting) In the live-action version of the circus member's bubble show, the bubble turns into a dancing pink elephant is a tribute to this segment.

The pink bubble elephant in the live-action version
The pink elephants in this illusion are so influential that LSD uses these elephants as packaging. At the same time, grandpa Rick also enjoys this honor. (Personal complaint: It seems that although the story is said to be drunk by people in the 40s of the last century, in the 21st century, everyone thinks that this is the effect of drug use, modern human senses...)
Mrs. Jumbo was quarantined for hurting others. In the live-action version, Mrs. Jumbo indirectly caused the death of a villain in the early stage. The live-action movie version of this prison car is almost the same as the animated version.
The most touching scene in the live-action version is also the most touching scene in the animated version, part of the song Baby Mine
lyrics:
Baby mine, don't you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play Don't you mind what you say Let those eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear, baby of mine
From your head to your toes You're so sweet goodness knows You are so precious to me Cute as can be, baby of mine
The live-action version of the story that can fly without feathers is the climax-ending part of the automatic drawing version.
The ending of the animated version of the plot is that Dumbo becomes a big star through performances and brings huge commercial income. The attitude towards animal performances in the animation is generally positive. This is understandable for the 40s movies. Different concepts of the era are different, and the opposition to animal performances is also later. It's only there.
Finally, at the end of the live-action version, the Medici Circus no longer performs animal shows, Dumbo returns to his original homeland-Asia (I am afraid Dumbo and the protagonist in "Fantasy Forest" are both from India In the tropical rain forest, the scenes used are estimated to be the same as in "Fantasy Forest"). This is a modernized ending.
The above is a comparison of the easter eggs and plots that I have sorted out. If there are any omissions, please add corrections.
3.30 update:
At the beginning of the live-action version, Mrs. Jumbo threw the first villain into the bucket in order to protect Dumbo. In the animated version, there is the same plot, but the circus leader is thrown into the bucket.
There is also an interesting detail. Dumbo has a booth full of Dumbo dolls at the entrance of the tent where Dumbo is performing at Dreamland, a large amusement park. There are two types of dolls in this booth. Elephant's TsumTsum doll.
TsumTsum is a Disney character image in a mobile game called "DisneyTsumTsum" released by Disney through Line in 2014. The main features are peasy eyes and a capsule-shaped body. So this can be regarded as the official crossing of Disney.
