New Dumbo poster brings Disney’s precious pachyderm to the center ring

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, hurry, hurry, hurry! Step right up and feast your eyes on Walt Disney Pictures' brand new poster for Tim Burton's DUMBO! Oh sure, you've seen elephants before, but never quite like this, my friends. Come one, come all, and gaze into this majestic creature's beautiful blue eyes. Marvel at the enormity of his ears, and prepare yourselves, for a night at the circus unlike you've ever imagined! Now don't crowd, don't crowd. There's plenty of room for everybody under Max Medici's Big Top, folks.

From the twisted and talented mind that brought us such classics as BEETLEJUICE, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, and THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS comes DUMBO, Disney's live-action adaptation of their 1941 animated classic. Starring Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Eva Green, Danny DeVito, and Alan Arkin, the House of Mouse's latest live-action adventure tells the story of a young elephant, whose oversized ears enable him to fly, a gift that for a time helps save a struggling circus. But when the circus plans a new venture, Dumbo and his friends discover dark secrets beneath its shiny veneer.

Today's new poster features Disney's precious pachyderm in all of his CG glory, standing proudly atop a red, white and blue platform. As Dumbo looks on with his piercing blue eyes, you can see the floppy-eared wonder smiling from cheek to cheek and anxious to perform for all the boys and girls under the Big Top.

With a screenplay written by Ehren Kruger, DUMBO is set to arrive in theaters on March 29, 2019.
