Disney's live-action Dumbo almost had the perfect child character. 1 / 7
Milly is smart, interesting and has one of the best scenes in the film. 2 / 7
She even has parallels with Dumbo, as both have lost their mothers. 3 / 7
However, the film dedicates too much time to her brother Joe. 4 / 7
Splitting focus between Joe and Milly takes away opportunities to flesh the latter out. 5 / 7
If Joe wasn't in the film, Milly might have been the perfect kid character. 6 / 7
Directed by Tim Burton, Dumbo is in theaters now. 7 / 7
