DUMBO Soars In The Full Trailer For Tim Burton's Live-Action Remake Of Disney's Animated Classic
As promised, the full-length trailer for Disney's live-action remake of Dumbo is now online, & we predict this little elephant is going to do some serious heartstring-tugging. Check it out after the jump.
The full trailer for Disney and director Tim Burton's live-action remake of Dumbo debuted during the Country Music Association Awards tonight, and while this adaptation does appear to be taking a few liberties with the original story, it certainly seems to have captured the spirit of the beloved animated classic.
The movie follows a former circus star (Colin Farrell) who's life is turned upside down when he returns home from the war. When he rejoins a troupe led by Max Medici (Danny DeVito), he becomes the carer of a newborn elephant who is the laughing stock of the circus because of his enormous ears.
When word gets out that Dumbo can fly, V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton) visits the circus, determined to exploit the little elephant's magical ability for his own gain.
Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think in the usual place.
Circus owner Max Medici enlists former star Holt Farrier and his children Milly and Joe 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, 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, until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.
Dumbo also stars Nico Parker Rooney, Douglas Reith, Joseph Gatt and Alan Arkin, and is set to hit theaters in the U.S. and the UK on March 29, 2019.
