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.
