Disney offered a first look at its Dumbo live-action/CGI reimagining during its film presentation at CinemaCon 2018. The high-flying elephant will make the transition from animated character to being the star of his own live-action feature next year, with Tim Burton directing.

Dumbo is the story of a circus elephant who is far from normal; he spends most of his childhood getting teased for having ears that are far too big for him. Eventually, however, Dumbo learns that the very things that hold him back in life are the very things that lift him up, quite literally, into the sky. Dumbo then goes on to become the biggest star of his circus as the world’s only flying elephant.

As far as Dumbo goes, the film’s cast includes Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito, Eva Green, DeObia Oparei, Joseph Gatt, Alan Arkin, and Michael Keaton as the villain
