Overview of the Dumbo Movie

The upcoming movie Dumbo is the adaptation of the same name animated film produced by Walt Disney Studio in 1941.

Besides the key base, this remake has several differences in storyline and characters in comparison with the origin. According to Walt Disney, they want to expand the original and its humanistic value rather than doing a mere remake.

"We've expanded the story, taking that as a jumping-off point for Dumbo's newest story." (Cathleen Tiff, a Disney big boss)
