Our favorite big eared elephant is mailing his way back in to our lives with a brand new live action movie.

Can you believe that the last Dumbo movie came out all the way back in 1941? I can’t believe it’s been that long!

Directed by Tim Burton and starring Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Eva Green, and Danny DeVito, the new film is a re-imagining of Disney’s 1941 animated classic, a tale of family, loss, a struggling circus, and an oddly unique baby elephant who brings hope and inspiration to those he meets.

I definitely took a double take when I read that Tim Burton was directing this movie. I mean this is the person who made Edward Scissorhands and A Nightmare Before Christmas!
