“I love working with Tim so much, but I don’t think we ever really analyzed why we work pretty well together; we just do,” Keaton told The New York Times. “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.”

Burton, who also took part in the interview, didn’t agree.

“I don’t even know what you’re talking about, but whatever,” he said.

Keaton played amusement park owner V.A. Vandevere in the live-action retelling of the Disney classic.
