Dumbo

You love “When You Wish Upon a Star.” You adore “Hakuna Matata.” These are not those.

This live-action adaptation of the animated classic is twice as long as the original with a lot more human characters.

The floppy-eared elephant is getting a dark live-action remake from Tim Burton.

With their new Cinderella just days away, Disney is continuing its streak of turning its animated classics into live-action features with the news, via the Wall Street Journal, that Dumbo is ready to make the transition from animated elephant to ... well, still-animated elephant surrounded by live-action actors.
