Disney Releases Tim Burton's Live-Action 'Dumbo' Trailer Disney is continuing their string of live-action remakes based on their classic animated film with Tim Burton’s melancholy take on ‘Dumbo.’ The trailer is full of familiar moments from the original and the film stars Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito, and Michael Keaton. Tim’s vision for this world and his honoring of not only the purity, but the true strength and resilience of children was like nothing I have been a part of in film before. ‘Dumbo’ hits theaters on March 29, 2019
