The film follows baby circus elephant Dumbo, who is mocked by all the other animals because of his enormous ears. When his mother is locked up for standing up to his tormentors, Dumbo is befriended by Timothy Mouse (voice of Edward Brophy), who appoints himself as his mentor in an attempt to find a way to make him happy again. After then discovering that Dumbo's oversized ears give him the ability to fly, the pair set out to put on a showstopping routine at their next circus performance. (Disney / Buena Vista)
