Dumbo is a fictional anthropomorphic elephant. He has huge ears. He can fly using his magic feather. He was in a book by Helen Aberson and illustrated by Harold Perl. He was in the Disney movie Dumbo, which was an adaption of the book.
Dumbo has no spoken dialogue. However, in the live-action/puppet television series Dumbo's Circus, Dumbo was voiced by Katie Leigh.
In the movie, Dumbo is delivered by Mr. Stork, and is made fun of for the strange size of his ears. As his mother, Mrs. Jumbo, beats up the bullies who pick on her baby, the ringmaster has his helpers chain her up and lock her up in a trailer, which says: "MAD ELEPHANT". It is then that Timothy Q. Mouse looks after Dumbo. The two of them try to make Dumbo famous and get his mother free. Thanks to the help of a "magic feather" from some Crows, Dumbo flies to fame, and gets his mother free.
Dumbo the Flying Elephant is also a carousel in Walt Disney world.
