From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, 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.
Directed by Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”)
from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger (“Ophelia,” “Dream House”), and produced by Justin
Springer (“TRON: Legacy”), Kruger, Katterli Frauenfelder (“Miss Peregrine’s Home for
Peculiar Children,” “Big Eyes”) and Derek Frey (“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar
Children,” “Frankenweenie”), “Dumbo” flies into theaters on March 29, 2019.
