PETA makes a public plea to Tim Burton after news broke out that he was tapped to direct the upcoming live-action "Dumbo" movie for Disney. The animal rights organization asks the helmer to change the ending by giving the title character a happy ending.

"We're hopeful that in your adaptation of 'Dumbo', the young elephant and his mother can have a truly happy ending by living out their lives at a sanctuary instead of continuing to be imprisoned and abused in the entertainment industry," says PETA's Senior Vice President Lisa Lange.

"Dumbo" tells the story of a little circus elephant who is ridiculed for his large ears and his only true friend is a mouse. The script is written by "Transformers" writer Ehren Kruger who is expected to add a unique family story that parallels Dumbo's journey.
