LOS ANGELES - Big-eared baby elephant Dumbo may be the star of Walt Disney Co’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,” arriving in movie theaters worldwide this week, had to act opposite an assortment of models and stunt men and women while the elephant was being created by computer-generated imagery . “Dumbo,” which stars Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito and Michael Keaton, 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 mom, Jumbo, and then they had multiple, multiple stand-ins for Dumbo,” Farrell said.
