Hollywood Is Scraping Bottom of Barrel With Dumbo Remake

Hat Tip: Cartoon Brew
(Original Story: Hollywood Reporter.)


I really hope this one is a hoax.

Disney is apparently planning to follow up on its success with the live action version of Sleeping Beauty (Maleficent) with a live action version of Dumbo.


Of all the Disney properties to recreate as a live action movie, they choose Dumbo?


The original version only works due to cartoon "physics".  A flying CG elephant with unbelievably big ears just isn't going to work the same.


It's also only 60  minutes long, requiring a certain amount of padding.  The padding will be a “unique family story that parallels Dumbo’s story."


That phrase alone is enough to give me nightmares.
