Circus owner Max Medici hires him to take care of Dumbo, a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him the laughingstock of the struggling circus troupe.

When Holt arrives at the train station he is wearing three medals, a Croix de Guerre, an Army Distinguished Service Cross, and a World War I Victory Medal. Although the Victory Medal was already earned by 1919, the Army did not issue the medals until June of 1920. Also the Victory Medal would probably have a Citation Star since he had earned the DSC.

I'm not gonna criticize Disney for remaking all the classics, but dumbo remake was a failure to me.
To keep it simple, as a live action film it was implied it would have a certain realistic element to a children's story. It didn't. There were so many plot holes and silliness I think the animals should have just spoken.
Final gripe is with thandie newtons lovely but bad acting daughter. Bad bad bad acting. Actor who played her brother was more refined. The fathers name escapes me but he and rest of cast were good.
The original is great. Remake is a let down
