The live-action adaptation of Disney’s classic animated film Dumbo will open across China on March 29.

Zheng Yunlong, a musical performer who is also known for popular variety shows such as Super Vocal and Singer, has been recruited by Disney to sing the Chinese-version theme song.

Directed by Tim Burton and starring Colin Farrell as well as Eva Green, the new story will bring to life the newborn elephant with oversized ears.
