Dumbo Trivia Questions

Answer: Baby Mine

After what happened during the pyramid performance, Timothy Q. Mouse took Dumbo to see his mother to make him feel better. During the song "Baby Mine", Dumbo's mother rocked him with her trunk. Many other circus animals were shown sleeping with their babies, too.

The song was sung by Betty Noyes. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1941, but lost. However, the movie did win the Academy Award for Best Original Music Score.

Answer: 1981

It was released onto video in 1981, because of the war in 1941 they were not able to release it sooner.

Answer: He whispered his plan to the Ringmaster while he was sleeping.

Much to Timothy's surprise his "trick" worked! After whispering the suggestion to the Ringmaster while he slept, the Ringmaster woke up the next day thinking it was his own idea.


The Ringmaster was voiced by character actor Herman Bing.

Answer: Jumbo Jr.

His name is revealed when Mr. Stork is singing "Happy Birthday" to Dumbo, and suddenly realizes that he doesn't know his name. With the only two words that Mrs. Jumbo speaks in the movie, she gives his name, "Jumbo...Jr."

Answer: Timothy

Of course we all know that Timothy the mouse was friends with Dumbo and didn't care about the size of his ears.

Answer: clown

Dumbo was used in the silliest act of the circus--a fake fire. With clowns dressed as firemen he jumped from a cardboard house into the firemen's net. Dressed in a baby's costume, Dumbo was very unhappy and frightened!

Answer: None. He never speaks.

Dumbo doesn't utter one word during the movie, instead using facial expressions to convey his feelings. His mother doesn't fare much better as she says only two words in the movie, when she tells Mr. Stork the name of her new calf. The other elephants though have plenty to say.

Answer: Florida

When the storks are dropping the babies, it can be seen that they're being dropped in Southern Florida.

Answer: Crows

The crows sang the song when Dumbo was in the tree and tried to fly with the magic feather.

Answer: On a tree branch

Timothy woke up, still perched in the brim of Dumbo's hat--still on Dumbo's head-- but Dumbo was fast aleeep on a branch very high above the ground! He noticed three black crows staring at him and he had no idea how he and Dumbo got on the tree branch.

Answer: Assassin

"Out of my way assassin," she shouts as she hurtles towards the fast fleeing Dumbo while still balancing the rest of the elephants on her back. Dumbo was supposed to use a springboard to launch himself to the top of the pyramid, but tripped on his big ears while performing his run up.

Answer: By explaining that Dumbo is an orphan

His first two sentences are "You all should be ashamed of yourselves. A bunch of big guys like you, pickin' on a little orphan like him." He then goes on to create a situation where the crows are torn from their mothers and left to fend for themselves in "a cold, cruel, heartless world". He then briefly mentions the other attributes in this order: that he's the laughing stock of the circus because of his ears, that his mother was locked up because she tried to defend him, and that he was made into a clown.

Answer: Mad Elephant

It said "Mad Elephant" because they locked up Dumbo's mother because she attacked humans when they made fun of Dumbo's ears.

Answer: crows

When they told him Dumbo flew up there Timothy excitedly told Dumbo the news. Dumbo tried to balance himself on the branch but he slipped and down they tumbled bouncing from branch to branch landing in water.


Jim Crow was voiced by Cliff Edwards and the "Crow Chorus" was the Hall Johnson Choir.

Answer: Sterling Holloway

Holloway had quite the Disney career, also voicing The Cheshire Cat in "Alice In Wonderland" (1951), Professor Holloway in "The Three Caballeros" (1944), Flower as an adult in "Bambi" (1942), Kaa the snake in "The Jungle Book" (1967), Roquefort in "The Aristocats" (1970) and Winnie the Pooh in "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" (1977).

Answer: the crows

At first the crows didn't think an elephant could fly. But, Dumbo proved them wrong. They sang the song while Dumbo first consciously flew and again at the very end of the movie.

Back at the circus, Dumbo flew during his performance with the clowns. Because of his ability, he quickly became rich and famous. His mother was let out of her cage as well.

Answer: Dumbomber

This is revealed with the newspaper and magazine headlines that are flying after Dumbo flies in the circus. After it's seen that Dumbo's ears are insured for $1,000,000 and that Dumbo sets an altitude record, a magazine cover shows the headline "DUMBOMBERS for defense" with a picture of six airplanes that resemble elephants.

Answer: 64

"Dumbo" is 64 minutes long. And one of the shortest animated features.

Answer: They gave him a "magic feather".

Timothy told Dumbo that if he could fly when he was asleep, he could fly when he was awake. Even with Timothy as a teacher and hours of practice Dumbo flapped his ears but couldn't fly.

The crows gave Dumbo a feather and fooled him into thinking it was magic. The trick was a success! With the feather wrapped in his trunk, Dumbo had confidence and soon soared like a eagle!

Answer: Back to the circus grounds

They flew back to the grounds with Timothy cheering Dumbo on and landed before they reached the tents. They arrived back at the grounds just in time for the clown act. This time Dumbo happily went to his place to wait for his cue to jump into the net.
