Since the holiday seasons are quickly approaching, studios are releasing more and more trailers for their upcoming family films, so that there’s won’t be any lull in conversation at the Thanksgiving dinner table. In addition to “Toy Story 4” Disney released a new trailer for their live action remake of “Dumbo.”
Directed by Tim Burton, the live-action “Dumbo” stars Danny Devito and Colin Farrell. The full trailer, released this week, shows off the ridiculously cute titular character. I’ve never really found elephants to be especially cute, but this rendition of Dumbo is seriously adorable.
The trailer promises Burton’s visual flourish will be a major component of “Dumbo.” I’m not expecting it to go full “Edward Scissorhands” but it looks much better than the last few movies he’s done (I’m looking at you “Dark Shadows”). I’m hoping Burton doesn’t hold back with some of the more psychedelic elements of the original, including the “Pink Elephants Dance.” That seems like the kind of scene with which Burton could really work his magic.
