Tim has a ton of directing credits to his name, including Alice in Wonderland, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and many more. The ‘Dumbo’ remake is in the early stages of development and doesn't yet have a release date, but it's expected to use a combination of live actors and CGI. Burton's next film to hit theatres will be "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," based on the YA fantasy novel by Ransom Riggs. Disney’s latest live action film, Cinderella, is hitting theatres this week.
