Plot Outline: Mrs. Jumbo wishes for a baby, but when the stork finally delivers, the baby has a distinctive enhancement - gigantic ears.
Plot: The stork delivers a baby elephant to Mrs Jumbo, veteran of the circus, but the newborn is ridiculed because of his truly enormous ears and dubbed "Dumbo". Dumbo is relegated to the circus clown acts; it is up to his only friend, a mouse, to assist Dumbo to achieve his full potential.

Audio/visual unsynchronized: The clowns voices dont consistently go with the same silhouettes.

Trivia: There are 19 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• The only Disney animated feature film that has a title character who doesnt speak.
• A very tightly budgeted, scripted, and produced film, because Walt Disney needed the film to bring in much-needed revenue after the expensive failures of Pinocchio (1940) and Fantasia (1940). Final negative cost of Dumbo was $813,000 (making it the least expensive of all Disneys animated features), and it grossed over $2.5 million in its original release (more than Pinocchio (1940)s and Fantasia (1940)s original grosses combined).
• This film and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) are the only classic Disney films to use watercolored backgrounds (they were used in this film because they were cheaper than the gouache and oils used for Pinocchio (1940) and Bambi (1942)) and the last time they were used until Fantasia/2000 (1999).
