The [[film]] is about Jumbo, Jr., a young [[circus]] [[elephant]] nicknamed "Dumbo" due to his huge ears. Despite ridicule and humiliation, and with the help of a talking mouse named Timothy, Dumbo discovers that he can fly using his giant ears, and becomes the star of the circus.  The opening scene (showing the circus's "Winter Quarters") is a nod to [[Venice, Florida]], where John Ringling lived and where his circus would actually relocate during the winter.

A live-action remake directed by Tim Burton was released in early 2019, showing a more human-centered story than the 1941 film.  However, it did not do well at the box office and was largely given poor ratings compared to the 1941 classic.
