Tim Burton’s Live-Action “Dumbo” Trailer Drops

Disney has finally released a teaser trailer for its live-action Dumbo adaptation. 

The trailer for the adaptation of the 1941 animated classic dropped Wednesday featuring the baby elephant actually taking flight. 

Disney’s Dumbo follows a string of live-action adaptations including Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book, Cinderella, and Maleficent.

The film, directed by Tim Burton stars Colin Farrell, Eva Green, Danny DeVito, and Michael Keaton opposite newcomers Nico Parker and Finley Hobbins. 

It looks like the reimagination of the story of the elephant with oversized ears takes place sometime during the 19th century. According to Variety, DeVito portrays the owner of a struggling circus who enlists former star Holt Farrier (Farrell), and his children Milly (Parker) and Joe (Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant. 

“We’re all family here, no matter how small,” Parker tells the sad-eyed elephant.

Watch the 80-second long teaser that promises to take viewers to “new heights.”
