Dumbo is the latest animation to join Disney’s live-action remake list.

But there's a lot to be nervous about when it comes to the film.

This week it was revealed that Danny DeVito, Colin Farrell, Eva Green and Michael Keaton would be appearing in the remake of the 1941 classic, which is to be directed by Tim Burton.

Additionally we got our first glimpse of what the flying elephant will look like... and it’s terrifying!

So, of course, people are unimpressed by the elephant...

Aren't we supposed to feel sorry for Dumbo? Not run away shrieking?
