Dumbo (1941)
1 factual error
Directed by: Wilfred Jackson, Ben Sharpsteen, Bill Roberts, Jack Kinney, Norman Ferguson, Samuel Armstrong, John Elliotte
Starring: Mel Blanc, Billy Bletcher, Sterling Holloway, Edward Brophy, Herman Bing, James Baskett
Revealing mistake: When the elephants are making fun of Dumbo in the train caboose, Dumbo's mother pulls a pin which causes the stall door above the other elephants to fall. When the door bounces back up, you can see that the animators forgot to draw the elephants' heads and trunks and only their bodies are visible.
Prissy: Girls, girls! Listen! Have I got a trunk full of dirt.
Trivia: The sequence with the multi-coloured elephants was based on an unused plan from Fantasia.
Question: Are there any official names for the elephants (other than Dumbo and Mrs. Jumo)?
Answer: The elephants are Matriarch (voiced by Verna Felton), Catty (voiced by Noreen Gammill), Giddy (voiced by Dorothy Scott), and Prissy (voiced by Sarah Selby). Catty is the one who nicknamed the baby elephant "Dumbo."
Answer: All the elephants are credited as "Elephant." The only difference is "Matriarch Elephant."
