You may recall that a few years ago, Disney released a live action remake of the 1941 animated movie dumbo<\/em>. Directed by Tim Burton of beetlejuice <\/em>fame (or <\/em>any number of films, really), the remake wasn’t particularly well received<\/span>even by the standards of Disney’s various<\/span> remakes<\/span> over the decade and change.<\/p>\n

Disney and Burton have been longtime collaborators for decades\u2014outside of nightmare, <\/em>his remake for Alice in Wonderland <\/em>arguably helped start Disney’s remake obsession after it made over a billion dollars and won two Academy Awards. Even with that, though, the live action dumbo <\/em>that may have ultimately brought that relationship to an end. At Lyon’s Lumi\u00e8re Festival, where he received the Prix Lumi\u00e8re award for his contribution to the film industry over the decades, Burton rather plainly said that he believes he’s done with Disney after the remake. \u201cI realized that I was Dumbo, that I was working in this horrible big circus and I needed to escape,\u201d he said. \u201cThat movie is quite autobiographical at a certain level.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in case you were wondering if the man would change his tune for the chance to direct an MCU or Star Wars <\/em>movie (what, from either franchise, could possibly be directed by Tim Burton <\/em>of all people?), that’s a hard no. He called Disney’s overall franchise focus \u201cvery homogenized, very consolidated. There’s less room for different types of things. \u201cI can only deal with one universe, l can’t deal with a multi-universe.\u201d<\/p>\n

He may be done with Disney, but Burton isn’t hard up for work. In a few weeks, his Addams Family <\/em>series Wednesday<\/em><\/span> <\/em>will premiere on Netflix and will be his first TV series he’s worked on in over 20 years. He also may still have an active relationship with fellow longtime collaborator Warner Bros., or could turn his eye towards another company like Blumhouse for future projects. <\/p>\n
