52 Dumbo Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Mrs Jumbo

The storks proudly flew through wind, rain, sleet, snow, thunder and lightning to deliver their precious "bundles". When they arrived at the Winter Quarters in Florida they "deposited" their deliveries into the loving arms of the animal mothers. As Mrs Jumbo reluctantly boarded the train taking them to a new town, she searched the sky hoping to see a stork. She even received a rather rude "push" from the Elephant Matriarch!

Mrs Jumbo and the Elephant Matriarch were both voiced by Verna Felton. You may remember her as Mrs Porter, the domineering maid Lucy Ricardo hired (and Ricky fired).

Answer: Mr. Stork

At the very beginning of the movie, storks were shown delivering babies to the animals in the circus. At this time, the song "Look Out for Mr. Stork" was heard. The stork that delivered Mrs. Jumbo's baby was late and had to consult a map. When Mr. Stork was singing "Happy Birthday to You" to the baby, Mrs. Jumbo told him his name was Jumbo Jr. But, after the other elephants saw his large ears, they started calling him Dumbo. The other elephants were very mean to Dumbo throughout the movie.

Answer: In the circus

We don't see exactly what act they do, if they perform an act at all, but they do help set the circus up during the "Song of the Roustabouts" song.

Answer: 1941

"Dumbo" was released on October 23rd, 1941.

Answer: On the train

Mr Stork's Special Delivery was delayed. While resting on a cloud he consulted a map and spotted the circus train, hauled by Casey Junior the locomotive. He flew and delivered his bundle to Mrs Jumbo in the elephant car.

Mr Stork was voiced by Sterling Halloway. Halloway, a voice actor for The Walt Disney Company, was the voice of Winnie the Pooh in Disney's "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh"-1977.

Answer: Atop a burning building

Dumbo is seen dressed as a baby, looking forlornly at the clown team of firemen, whose mission it is to rescue him. Eventually they manage it, but not before many mishaps and much hilarity.

Answer: "I think I can."

The train's name was Casey Junior. It repeated the words "I think I can" many times as it made its way up the hill. Once it reached the top and went down the other side, it said, "I thought I could."

Answer: Fly

Dumbo is convinced by a magic feather (as well as Timothy and the crows) that he can fly.

Answer: ears

The Elephant Matriarch tickled "Jumbo Jr" causing him to sneeze. When his huge ears flapped open the other elephants laughed and said he should be named "Dumbo". Mrs Jumbo loved and cared for her precious baby. She remained unfazed even when he tripped in the mud during the opening day parade and needed a bath!

Answer: Storms

The movie opening shows a battalion of storks flying through the night time storm to deliver their packages. The song "Look out for Mr. Stork", performed by The Sportsmen is played during this sequence.

Answer: The men and elephants were setting up the circus.

"Song of the Roustabouts" was sung by the men while they and the elephants hammered in the nails and lifted the tents for the circus. It took place during a nighttime thunderstorm.

Answer: Casey Jr.

"Casey Jr." was the circus train that traveled all over America to bring the circus everywhere.

Answer: He is made to work with the clowns

"Oh the shame of it," says one of the elephants injured in the fiasco, "From now on, he is no longer an elephant." This conversation is carried out by the herd, while in a circle which they prevent Dumbo from joining. Wow! Don't ever get on the wrong side of an elephant eh?

Answer: the ringmaster's

When Timothy Q. Mouse overheard the ringmaster talking about his plans for an elephant pyramid and how he needed a climax to the performance, Timothy thought Dumbo would make a good climax and that it would cheer him up. After the ringmaster went to sleep, Timothy came into his tent and whispered into his ear his idea for Dumbo to be the top of the pyramid.

Answer: He takes him to see his mother.

Timothy does clean him up with a toothbrush and lead him to a bucket to drink; he also offers, but does not give, Dumbo a peanut. However the only thing that actually cheers him up is the trip to see his mother, who is in solitary confinement.

Answer: Timothy Q Mouse

At this point in the movie we meet the very important character, Timothy Q Mouse. With Mrs Jumbo locked the prison the other elephants gossiped and shunned poor little Dumbo. When Timothy saw (and heard) how they were treating him he immediately took Dumbo under his wing. He came up with a plan to help Dumbo take advantage of his unique ears, become famous and free his mother.

Timothy was voiced by the character actor Edward Brophy.

Answer: "You're no cream puff yourself, dearie."

After all the elephants were in position, Dumbo had to run out, jump on a springboard and land on the top of the pyramid. But, on the way, he tripped on his ears and knocked down all the elephants and the tent. After that, he was made a clown.

Answer: A child/children

This is said during the song "Look Out For Mr. Stork". As the singers introduce the stork(s) as "the persevering chap", they say that he'll drop "a bundle in your lap" (that bundle being a baby, as seen by the bombardment of bundles on the circus). They go on to say that people who receive this bundle "may be poor or rich, it doesn't matter which" and the next line is this: "Millionaires, they get theirs like the butcher and the baker."

Answer: champagne

The clowns were celebrating how well their act did and they drank some champagne and some poured into the bucket of water that Dumbo was drinking.

Answer: Timothy

Timothy uses the peanut to coax Dumbo out from under the hay in which he is hiding after being ignored by the other elephants. Eventually Timothy's plan works after Dumbo has vacuumed the peanut out of Timothy's hand.
