Michael Keaton may be re-teaming with frequent collaborator Tim Burton forBeetlejuice Beetlejuice, but it’s brought up some bad memories for the former Batman actor.
“I think I let him down on one movie, but that’s just me, and it bugs me to this day. I was clueless on Dumbo. I sucked in Dumbo.”
In response, Burton immediately disagreed. The director – who worked with Keaton on the original Beetlejuice, plus two Batman movies – said, “I don’t even know what you’re talking about, but whatever.”
Dumbo was only a moderate success at the box office, grossing $353 million from a $170 million. Critics were also lukewarm, with it garnering a 46% rating on reviews aggregatorRotten Tomatoes.
