In just a few weeks,
Dumbo will take to the skies in Tim Burton's live-action adaptation of Disney's animated classic. In a newly released behind-the-scenes featurette, the main cast of characters - Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, and Eva Green - share their thoughts on what makes this adaptation so special and important.
Dumbo is all about celebrating differences and cherishing family. It's a heartwarming story that offers a powerful message, and overseeing the entire production is none other than legendary director Tim Burton.
"He understands outsiders, people who don't fit in, vulnerable souls like Dumbo," says Eva Green.
Beyond his ability to relate to the story on a personal level, Burton has helped create a magical setting filled with vibrant colors and visuals.
"I got such goosebumps when I walked onto the set for the first time," reveals Farrell as the rest of the cast offers similar sentiment.
Go behind the scenes of
Dumbo in this new trailer and get ready to visit the circus later this month.
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.
Dumbo flies into theaters on March 29. It's one of three live-action adaptations Disney has plans to release this year,
Aladdin and
The Lion King being the other two.
