Plot – Dumbo, Jumbo's calf, is picked on by the other circus elephants: their imprudent act infuriates Jumbo, who is chained. A little mouse wants to help Dumbo and suggests many ideas. The most sensational one is to make use of his wide ears to fly. The birds are wary at the beginning, but once he succeeds they will escort him.
