15 Live-Action Remakes Disney Are Currently Developing

13. Dumbo

The Original: Released in 1941, Dumbo told the story of a young circus elephant who was teased for his enormous ears. His mother steps in to protect him with the poor elephant being locked up, but Dumbo ends up on the road with a mouse for a companion before the mouse instills the idea that with the help of a magic feather, he could fly by using his ears. The Planned Remake: Tim Burton is attached to direct this remake which is expected to feature a mix of CGI animation and live-action. This wonʼt be the first live-action retelling Burton has undertook for Disney - back in 2010, the director made Alice in Wonderland. The screenplay is being written by Transformers: Dark Of The Moon scribe Ehren Kruger, and itʼs expected the movie will tell the classic tale, but add a unique family story that parallels Dumboʼs journey.
