well i now have some interest.
I've been wanting Tom Hanks to play a villain for like ever now.
I hate how they're making live action remakes of all these Classic Disney movies. Jungle book was fine, but it feels like they're beating dead stories to absolute death.

>starring Will Smith
>Tim Burton's Dumbo
That's not a sequence of words I could have ever imagined went together.

Didn't the whole pink elephants thing happen beacue Dimbo and the mouse ringleader were drunk?
I doubt their show that in a post-modern Disney film.

Pretty sure it was dead the minute they announced a live action Chip N Dale movie and live action Winnie The Pooh movie (focused on Christopher Robin as an adult)
