    First Teaser Trailer For Tim Burton’s Live Action Dumbo Released

    Disney has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Tim Burton’s live-action “Dumbo” remake and it will warm your heart.

    The reimagined story expands on the beloved classic story where, as Disney puts it, “differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight.”  The trailer, which features Norwegian popstar Aurora singing Baby Mine, features clips of Dreamland as well as Dumbo taking flight for the first time.

    Tim Burton helms the live action “Dumbo” which is 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 story begins when circus owner Max Medici played by Danny DeVito who enlists former star Holt Farrier played Colin Farrell and his children to care for a newborn elephant. “We’re all family here,” they tell a frightened Dumbo. “No matter how small.”

    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.”

    Tim Burton’s Dumbo flies into theaters March 29, 2019.

    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.
