Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaInitially, Walt Disney was uninterested in making this movie. To get him interested, story men Joe Grant and Dick Huemer wrote up the film as installments which they left on Walt's desk every morning. Finally, he ran into the story department saying, "This is great! What happens next?"
- GoofsTwice in the movie, a map of the southeastern United States is visible. In both cases, it reads KY (Kentucky) where TN (Tennessee) should be.
- Quotes
Timothy Q. Mouse: You all oughta be ashamed of yourselves. A bunch of big guys like you, pickin' on a poor little orphan like him. Suppose you was torn away from your mother when you was just a baby. Nobody to tuck you in at nights. No warm, soft, caressin' trunk to snuggle inta. How would you like being left out alone, in a cold, cruel, heartless woild? And why? I ask ya, why? Just because he's got those big ears, they call him a freak. The laughing stock of the circus. And when his mother tried to protect him, they threw her into the clink. And on top of that, they made him a *clown*! Socially he's washed up! Aw, but what's the use of talkin' to you cold-hearted boids? Go ahead! Have your fun! Laugh at him! Kick him now that he's down! Go on! We don't care.

- Crazy creditsThe RKO logo is in gold on a blue background within a stylish gold border; all of this is on a red background.
- Alternate versionsThe last theatrical release of the film that featured RKO title cards was in 1949. When it was re-released in 1959, it was replaced by Buena Vista title cards and was the same way until 2001, when the film was released on DVD for the first time for its 60th anniversary and all references to RKO were restored. (The 1995 laserdisc release actually did retain the RKO titles before then.)

Lyrics by Ned Washington
Sung by The Sportsmen Quartet
A closer look at Dumbo - it's about having physical abnormalities and over coming the fear of others shunning or making fun of you because of it - the movie shows you can still 'shine' no matter what you look like. In this respect, Dumbo is similar to the films "The Elephant Man" or "Roxanne".
The saddest scene in the film, to me, was when Dumbo was ripped away from his mother Mrs. Jumbo. The most touching part of the film. Dumbo was very lucky to find a good friend: Timothy Q. Mouse. Dumbo and Timothy will steal the circus show! 8.5/10
