In 1919 a widowed war veteran returns home, where a struggling circus adopts a baby elephant that can fly.
A charmingly anthropomorphic Disney animation is turned into a human-centred, sentimental and politically correct family drama, still quite enjoyable if one adjusts to the difference in style. In the hands of Tim Burton what is on the screen is never less than interesting.
