    New ‘Dumbo’ Sneak Peek Proves Magic Is Possible and Miracles Happen

    Disney

    Anything is possible and miracles happen in a new sneak peek at the upcoming live-action “Dumbo.”

    In addition to releasing a much-talked-about TV spot for “Aladdin” yesterday, Disney also unveiled a new teaser for its live-action remake of “Dumbo.”

    There’s new footage of the titular little elephant, whose high-flying feats leave audiences stunned and Michael Keaton whispering, “He’s made me a child again.”

    We also get to see a bit more of Colin Farrell’s one-armed animal trainer, Danny DeVito’s circus owner Max Medici, and Keaton’s villainous entrepreneur.

    The CGI Dumbo looks fantastic and moviegoers will likely be as thrilled as the circus audience at the breathtaking flying scenes.

    Here’s the official synopsis of the movie:

    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” opens in theaters March 29.

    “Dumbo” is ready for take-off.

    Disney released a new trailer for the Tim Burton-directed live-action remake of its 1941 animated classic. Colin Farrell stars as a single dad  who works at a traveling circus. His two kids bond with an adorable young elephant with huge ears named Dumbo, who demonstrates the amazing ability to fly — taking their small circus to new heights.

    But that unique skill bring him to the attention of a greedy entrepreneur named V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who wants to exploit Dumbo — by putting him in harm’s way.

    The trailer provides much more detail about the plot than previously known, and much of it aligns with the original film, though there appear to be new characters.  Danny DeVito, Eva Green, Alan Arkin, Finley Hobbins, and Nico Parker also star.

    “Dumbo” is the latest Disney animated classic to get the live-action treatment. It will be followed by the more high-profile remakes of “The Lion King” and “Mulan.”

    “Dumbo” opens in theaters March 29, 2019.
