Adding to the list of Disney's live action retellings of animated classics comes 'Dumbo', being helmed by none other than director Tim Burton.

The movie is currently still in development and hasn't received a release date, but along with the recently announced, 'Jungle Book', 'Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass', and 'Beauty and the Beast' movies, it seems that it's the studio's plan to resell their timeless classics.

"The film is expected to be a mixture of computer generated effects and live actors, although details on the project are still scarce at this early stage of development. [Disney's President of Production Sean] Bailey would only say of the plans for a new 'Dumbo' story that 'It's a big world', indicating that the story will be broader than the original tale of a circus elephant with large ears who learns to fly," writes The Wall Street Journal.

The original 'Dumbo' story was fairly solemn at the beginning, as it told the story about a baby elephant's separation from its mother. It's still uncertain if they plan to reprise that same story.

As it stands, there are no announcements about any actors or actresses attached to the project.
