Big-eared baby elephant Dumbo may be the star of Walt Disney's remake of its 1941 animated movie classic, but the film was shot without its adorable star ever making an appearance on set.
The cast of the live-action Dumbo had to act opposite an assortment of models and stuntmen and women while the creature was being created by computer-generated imagery and added in post-production. "It is weird that you're making a movie with all these great actors and the main character is not there," director Tim Burton said.
Dumbo is the tale of an elephant born to a struggling circus who is ridiculed for his huge ears, until he uses them to fly and becomes the main attraction of the show."There wasn't an elephant to be found. They did have models. They had a beautiful huge model in luminous green of an elephant that played Dumbo's mum Jumbo, and then they had multiple stand-ins for Dumbo," he said.
