A teaser is finally upon us for Disney's live-action Dumbo , & it looks amazing! It looks like a best of Tim Burton mash up going all the way back to Big Top Pee Wee . This was the live action film I've been most curious about. Burton's mark on a Dumbo? The idea intrigued me, & I'm loving how it looks in this teaser. Burton has a habit of overtly putting his mark all over his films. You can turn on later Burton films for a second & know they're his. The first thing I loved about this teaser is even though you can see his mark in spots, it seems more subtle like his older films. We've really got to address the elephant in the room though. Dumbo. I know when I first saw the pics earlier this year, I found them quite unsettling. Little soulless abomination, I think were my words. I did also say I reserved full judgment until I see him in motion, & once they breath life into him, he's friggin adorable. Not much story wise to the trailer, but a real good sense of what to expect from the visuals. Even what looked like a pink elephant scene was thrown in there. This teaser did its job though. I'm now pretty pumped for this March 2019 release, which the description reads as "the all-new grand live-action adventure “Dumbo” expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. 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." There's definitely a lot more to this than the animated classic. I was kinda "meh" on this one until this teaser. What do y'all think? Did this do it for ya? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
First Look At Creepy, Live Action "Dumbo"
So, we've known Tim Burton was directing next year's live action Dumbo . The cast is just as unique as that statement with Colin Farrell, Eva Green, Danny Devito, & Michael Keaton taking up the role of the villain. I feel like that last part needed a question mark. I still can't really get my head around a villain. The stranger this lineup got, I couldn't wait for them to finally address the elephant in the room. Yup, I went there. Anyway, the day has come WDW News Today just released this pic taken during a sneak peek at CinemaCon. Now before I go on, this is a sneak peek. There is a chance it still needs some touchup. Final effects may not be put in. This is also just a still shot. That said, look at that creepy, little, bastard. If I was terrified of elephants, it would be because I see them like that. He looks like he's plotting something evil. The pink elephant scene is going to be absolutely horrifying. In his defense, I thought Paddington looked pretty terrifying as well until I saw the movie. He just wasn't as creepy when brought to life. I hope this goes the same way. What do y'all think? Am I wrong? Cute? Creepy? The saddest thing is the more I look at him the cuter he gets. Still disturbing for some reason, but cuter. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
