One in a series of live-action remakes for classic animated Disney films, Tim Burton's Dumbo premiered in 2019 with a cast that included Danny DeVito, Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, and Eva Green. Farrell and DeVito star as the proprietors of a failing circus, who get an unexpected windfall in the form of Dumbo, a baby elephant with unusually large ears who has the ability to fly. When Keaton's corrupt businessman V. A. Vandevere attempts to use Dumbo and his mother for his own personal gain, the elephants' allies must concoct a plan to get them to safety.
Michael Keaton's brilliant rule for reprising his title role in 2024's Beetlejuice 2 also highlights where his last movie with Tim Burton went wrong.
