As Disney continues its winning streak of re-purposing animated classics as live-action movies, the studio has unveiled the first teaser for its forthcoming adaptation of Dumbo. Set to hit screens in March 2019, the movie comes from the imagination of Tim Burton, the man who has directed such films as Batman, Edward Scissorhands, and Disney’s Alice in Wonderland.
Expanding on the classic story that involves a celebration of our differences, cherishing one’s family, and where dreams lead to extraordinary moments. Check it out.
Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.
