What happens

Dumbo is a 2019 American fantasy period adventure film directed by Tim Burton from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger. It is a live-action adaptation of Walt Disney's 1941 animated film, and stars Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Eva Green, and Alan Arkin. Plans for a film adaptation of Dumbo were announced in 2014, and Burton was confirmed as director in March 2015. Most of the cast signed on for the feature in March 2017 and principal photography lasted from July to November 2017 in England. It was the first of five live-action adaptations of prior animated Disney films released in 2019, along with Aladdin, The Lion King, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and Lady and the Tramp. Dumbo premiered in Los Angeles on March 11, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on March 29. The film grossed $353.3 million worldwide against a $170 million budget and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of DeVito and Keaton but criticized the script.
