Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell), a former circus horse rider who has been injured and left disabled after World War I, finds himself with the daunting task of taking care of the circus's elephants and a peculiarly large-eared calf. Holt's children, Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Robbins), take it upon themselves to care for the little elephant who is being ridiculed and is the first to be amazed at how his appendage of wonder bestows him with the gift of flight. Tim Burton's rendition of Dumbo, starring Danny Devito, brings a classic Disney tale to life in a stylish and all-star fashion with Eva Green and Alan Arkin.
