Trailer: Live-action version of Tim Burton’s ‘Dumbo’ will make you tear up

The first full-length trailer for Disney’s upcoming live action 'Dumbo' reboot has been released and it’s a tear-jerker already. In just two and a half minutes, the trailer will make sure you run through a range of emotions - joy, sadness, anger and surprise.

The trailer begins with the circus manager’s — played by Colin Farell — children finding Dumbo in his tent. While playing with him, they discover that he has the ability to fly by flapping his ears. Soon, evil comes knocking on the door in the form of Michael Keaton’s rich businessman, out to make some quick buck through the circus.

Even Dumbo’s mother is sent away while Farell’s kids beg their father not to take her away. A quick cut of scene show Dumbo looking utterly sad as he gets plastered with clown make-up and trips on his ears.

The trailer is offering a real look at the title character who will supposedly make us all cry on March 30, 2019. Directed by Tim Burton, the film blends CGI with live action performances to deliver an updated take on the 1941 animated classic.
