From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the all-new grand live-action adventure “Dumbo” expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.
Directed by Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger (“Ophelia,” “Dream House”), and produced by Justin Springer (“TRON: Legacy”), Kruger, Katterli Frauenfelder (“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” “Big Eyes”) and Derek Frey (“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” “Frankenweenie”).

this post just reinforces how stupidly excited i am for the lion king remake, hehe. thanks for sharing!
Dumbo and Captain Marvel are both in my list for sure! Great list for 2019!
I am so incredibly excited to see Dumbo! I think my husband will love it too and we can totally make it a date-night.
I cannot wait to see all of these! I’m most excited for the MCU movies, Star Wars, and the latest Toy Story movie.
I cannot wait to see Captain Marvel and Endgame. I know my wife was excited about seeing Infinity War, so this should get her and the kids pumped up as well. The Lion King trailer I saw, it looks like it’ll be an awesome movie as well. Can’t forget to mention Star Wars IX!
Ooo I bet Aladdin will be super cool in IMAX. Toy Story is a favorite Disney pick of mine too.
Disney has quite the year ahead of them! Really looking forward to most of these!
Disney is not here to play with us this year. I can’t wait for Toy Story and Captain Marvel. I’m still on the fence with Lion King and Aladdin.
I am looking forward to several of these. I’ve never seen Aladdin, but I love Will Smith so I am in. I also adore the Lion King, so I am excited about that one too. I have seen all of the Toy Story movies so I need to see what 4 is all about.
There are so many phenomenal movies. I love that there will be a remake of Dumbo.
Oh I am SO ready for these!! I can’t wait and have a few on my list that I will be sure to see as soon as they hit the theater!
I’m most excited to see Lion King, Aladdin, and Dumbo. I love how these classic remakes are being made into real life like movies. I’m usually not excited about movies but I will go see these.
I am not ashamed to admit that I am so excited for like 8 out of 10 of these movies. Take my money Disney! I love how they basically own the box office and I cannot get enough of the Marvel movies or any of these live-action remakes. Keep the coming!
I think I am most excited to see Alladin. The first look pictures are really good, so I am thinking the movie will be quite entertaining.
I would really love to see all of these movies, what an amazing lineup. I really can’t wait.
I’m excited most about Toy Story and the remake of Dumbo!
I am looking forward to a lot of these movies, especially Lion King, Aladdin, Captain Marvel, End Game… like all of them lol
I am so out of touch with the movies scene since we got rid of our TV, this was amazing! Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to add all of this to my list to amazon prime when they’re available.
oh wow this is an overwhelming list. So much to see this year! I’m excited to see how they deal with the remakes of the classics
I’m not a big movie person but these movies all look great! I know my son would love so many of these.
Glad to learn so many good movies coming soon. I think Alladin would be my best choice. I saw that movie more than 20 years ago and still remember everyone clapping after the show.
What what what?? There’s a new Toy Story 4 coming out. I hadn’t heard. I’ll see that one and probably Aladdin too!
When I saw the trailer for the Lion King, I was blown away! Even more so when I saw Captain Marvel and Avengers: End Game. There’s so many awesome movies coming out this year! We might be basically living in the theaters this year!
Can you believe i haven’t seen any of the new movies yet?! I am disapointed with myself. I will definitely check them out.
I love all the live action Disney films; I can’t wait to see Lion King, it was my favorite as a kid!
I’m definitely going to watch the Marvel movies from Disney again. I’m specifically looking forward to Captain Marvel.
After reading this post, I am super excited for all of the new movies on the way. I cannot even decide which one tops my must-see list.
I absolutely love the live action films Disney puts out. Lion King was my favorite as a child, but I also loved Aladdin. It will be interesting to see if Will Smith can live up to Robin Williams as the Genie too. Can’t wait to see them all!
This list is getting me all excited this year! I want to see them all and I can’t tell yet which one is my favorite. Too many good ones to look forward to!
Such a great line up for 2019! I can’t wait to catch a number of these with the girls.
We’re so excited to show this list to the boys. They LOVE Disney movies and can’t wait to see their reaction.
It is just so hard to pick one Disney movie for 2019, so I’ll pick two. The Lion King and Dumbo! I simply cannot wait to see these movies in the theatre! So excited!
There’s so much to see. I would love to see ARTEMIS FOWL soon.
