| | The [[film]] is about Jumbo, Jr., a young [[circus]] [[elephant]] nicknamed "Dumbo" due to his huge ears. Despite ridicule and humiliation by the circus' elephants led by the Matriarch ([[Verna Felton]]), crew, guests and of course the Ringmaster ([[Herman Bing]]), and with the help of a talking mouse named Timothy ([[Edward Brophy]]) and a group of talking crows led by one named Dandy Crow ([[Cliff Edwards]]), Dumbo discovers that he can fly using his giant ears, and becomes the star of the circus. The opening scene (showing the circus' "Winter Quarters") is a nod to Venice, [[Florida]], where John Ringling lived and where his circus would actually relocate during the winter. | | The [[film]] is about Jumbo, Jr., a young [[circus]] [[elephant]] nicknamed "Dumbo" due to his huge ears.
