Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where do Dumbo and his mother live and/or work?

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.

2. What can Dumbo do with his ears?

Answer: Fly

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

3. The other elephants look upon Dumbo's large ears as a gift.

Answer: False

They usually laugh and poke fun at him for his ears. One of the elephants (Giddy, according to imdb) goes as far as to say that his ears are those that "only a mother could love!"

4. How does Timothy cheer Dumbo up, after his embarrassment in the clown act?

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.

5. According to a song, what is implied that milllionaires receive "like the butcher and the baker"?

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."

6. Does Dumbo get his revenge on the other elephants at the end of the movie?

Answer: Yes

As he's flying around for the people at the circus, he sucks up peanuts from a peanut cart. He sees the four elephants who mocked him the whole movie and bombards them with the peanuts!

7. What is Dumbo's real name?

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."

8. In which U.S. state does "Dumbo" begin?

Answer: Florida

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

9. How does Timothy begin his sympathy speech to the crows?

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.

10. What is the name of the airplanes in the movie that were influenced by Dumbo?

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.
