A new official trailer for Walt Disney’s live-action remake of Dumbo has landed. The spot introduces the complete human cast and gives us more heartstring-tugging footage of the CG elephant star (and other digital critters, like his circus mouse companions), and gives a peek at how director Tim Burton has paid homage to the 1941 animated classic, such as a subtly magical reinterpretation of the psychedelic “Pink Elephants on Parade” sequence.
Dumbo will be released in U.S. theaters on March 29, 2019.
Synopsis: 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.
