Tim Burton´s DUMBO Trailer Don’t miss the new DUMBO trailer! The film, directed by Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland, Ed Wood), stars Colin Farrell, Eva Green, Michael Keaton, Alan Arkin, Joseph Gatt, and Danny DeVito. DUMBO will be released in theaters on March 29, 2019. Holt was once a circus star, but he went off to war and when he returned it had terribly altered him. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) hires him to take care of Dumbo, a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him the laughing stock of the struggling circus troupe. But when Holt’s children discover that Dumbo can fly, silver-tongued entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), and aerial artist Colette Marchant (Eva Green) swoop in to make the little elephant a star.
