Continuity mistake: When the elephants in the circus are making a pyramid on top of a ball, as it changes from shot to shot the colour of the blankets on their backs changes, and one of the elephants changes from grey to blue.

Dumbo (1941)
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.
Continuity mistake: At the end of "When I See an Elephant Fly," the crows laugh and tumble to the ground. In the two shots of them laughing on the ground, you can see a crow dressed in red and pink with a cigar in his mouth on the left side of the screen. This crow plus the four other crows in the shot PLUS the leader of the crows equals six crows. Throughout the rest of the sequence, there are only five crows, and the extra crow is never seen again.
Trivia: When Timothy Mouse falls into a bucket of champagne, he emerges drunk and hiccups pink bubbles, which form a "Hidden Mickey."
Trivia: The sequence with the multi-coloured elephants was based on an unused plan from Fantasia.
Elephant Matriarch: Out of my way, assassin.
Prissy: Girls, girls! Listen! Have I got a trunk full of dirt.
Fidgity Elephant: Can you bear it? When she doused the ringmaster, I just thought I'd die.
Giddy: Well personally, I think she went a bit too far.
Elephant Matriarch: After all, one musn't forget one is a lady.
Fidgity Elephant: Oh, you're right, dear.
Giddy: Oh, well, I suppose that's mother love.
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."
