It’s only a mild spoiler alert to say that at the end of Tim Burton’s Dumbo, the outcast elephant is not lying weeping in a filthy circus cage — but, rather, happily reunited with his mother, Mrs. Jumbo, in Africa. There are panoramic shots of elephants gathering in a steaming waterfall. There are egrets flying in formation over wetland. One could almost imagine them forming a circle to see a freshly born lion cub while someone hollers a Zulu chant....

The thing is, no one is more thrilled by the glorious downfall of his character than Fiennes himself. “What we have here is the great fight back. I think that’s the great thing about season four.

Fortunately, some of the more popular breaks offer a bigger benefit than in years past....
