On 29 March 2019, the live action remake of Disney’s 1941 animation Dumbo will hit cinemas.

Directed by the wacky, wonderful filmmaker Tim Burton, it tells the story of the baby circus elephant Dumbo, separated from his mother, whose elongated, flappy ears give him the ability to fly. In the original cartoon version the story focused only on the animals of the circus, but in Burton’s live action remake the story will be split between animals and humans.

Enter: Colin Farrell, who plays a one-armed circus employee called Holt Farrier, his two onscreen children Milly and Joe who befriend the loveable elephant, circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito), trapeze artist Colette Marchant (Eva Green) and V. A. Vandemere (Michael Keaton), a nefarious businessman trying to make a quick buck out of Dumbo.

The first trailer was released this week, and it is every bit as magical as you could imagine it would be.
