    Disney Reveals A First Look at Tim Burton’s Live-Action ‘Dumbo’

    At Tuesday’s live presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, NV there was no ignoring the elephant in the room as Disney revealed the footage from their upcoming live-action Dumbo movie.

    Mixed in with footage that was mostly actors from the film talking about the making of the movie and behind the scenes footage was a first glimpse of a young Dumbo in all his CGI glory.

    Disney hasn’t officially released any of the footage, but multiple attendees at the event were able to snap some pictures of everyone’s favorite pachyderm. You can see the photo below along with a shot of the film’s official logo.

    As the Dumbo presentation started, Disney Executive VP Cathleen Tiff introduced the clip and said, “We’ve expanded the story, taking that as a jumping off point for Dumbo’s newest story”. She explained the film will be different from the classic story we know.

    Tim Burton helms the live action Dumbo which is loosely inspired by the 1941 animated film. It’s written by Ehren Kruger and has an all-star cast including Eva Green, Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Alan Arkin, and Danny Devito. The period movie includes DeVito as the circus ringmaster and Keaton as the owner.

    Disney has continued its dominance at the box office in with a slew of live-action remakes of its animated classics, including “Alice in Wonderland,” “The Jungle Book,” and last year’s $1.25 billion worldwide grossing “Beauty and the Beast.”

    Dumbo is scheduled to hit theaters on March 29, 2019.
  • Dumbo and Main Street Vehicles Close for Refurbishment

    Dumbo and Main Street Vehicles Close for Refurbishment

    A temporary closure for two of Disneyland original attractions start Monday as they undergo refurbishment. Dumbo the Flying Elephant and the horse-drawn streetcar track on Main Street, U.S.A. are both getting an update.

    The horse-drawn streetcar track on Main Street, U.S.A., will be replaced in its entirety.  This will temporarily pause the operation of all Main Street, U.S.A. vehicles.

    While sections of the Main Street, U.S.A., track have been replaced before, this the first complete replacement. The modifications will incorporate new brickwork that will enhance the look of the iconic thoroughfare. The pieces of original track that remain today will be salvaged and preserved, and the previously updated pieces of track will be recycled.

    Also, Dumbo the Flying Elephant is receiving a new queue location.  Were not talking New Fantasyland queues here, but it will increase guest comfort and accessibility.

    The attraction  will close temporarily to move the location of its queue and erect a new shade structure. The attraction will also be up to its “ears” in fresh paint!

    Refurbishment is a common practice that Disney performs periodically to keep their attractions fresh and up to date. Main Street, U.S.A., vehicles and Dumbo the Flying Elephant will reopen in late winter and early spring, respectively.
