In 2019, however, Disney will not be bringing a whole new story to life but putting a new twist on one of its classics.<\/p>\n<p>Most Disney fans are familiar with the animated film \u201cDumbo,\u201d the story of an outcast baby elephant with oversized ears who learns to soar. In keeping with the pattern of remaking classics with a live-action cast, Disney has just released the first trailer for the new, live-action version of \u201cDumbo.\u201d Available information about the 2019 live-action version of \u201cDumbo\u201d states that the film is \u201cinspired by\u201d or \u201cbased on\u201d the original animated movie, but is not a pure remake of the 1941 classic. Instead, the film is set to act as an \u201cexpansion to the original film\u2026[while] also serving as a live-action adaptation of the 1941 animated original.\u201d The synopsis for the 2019 \u201cDumbo\u201d shows clearly that, while the basic storyline still follows the rise of an outcast baby elephant with oversized ears, the details of the story have been altered. New characters have been added and some, such as Timothy Mouse, appear to have been removed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDumbo\u201d stars Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito, Michael Keaton and Eva Green as the main human characters and members of the same struggling circus as Dumbo. Farrell plays a one armed war veteran who \u201cwas once a circus start\u201d before he returned \u201cterribly altered\u201d by his experiences in war. Farrell\u2019s character, Holt Farrier, is hired by Danny DeVitor\u2019s character, circus owner Max Medici, to \u201ctake care of Dumbo, a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him the laughingstock of the struggling circus troupe.\u201d Dumbo\u2019s incredible powers of flight are discovered not by a hungover Timothy Mouse but by Hold\u2019s children. In response to the discovery, \u201csilver-tongued entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere,\u201d who is played by Michael Keaton, and \u201caerial artist Colette Marchant,\u201d played by Eva Green, \u201cswoop in to make the little elephant a star.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Disney has received mixed responses to their recent string of live-animation remakes which included \u201cCinderella,\u201d \u201cThe Jungle Book\u201d and \u201cBeauty and the Beast.\u201d \u201cDumbo,\u201d however, appears to be taking a new direction with the classic story.
