Line 26:
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Dumbo has big baby-blue eyes.
* [[Big Shadow, Little Creature]]
* [[Bratty Half
* [[Brick Joke]]: The crows sing about seeing everything if they ever saw an elephant fly. When Dumbo ''is'' flying, Jim Crows comments that now he ''has'' seen everything.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Dumbo, big time.
Line 39:
* [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: "Pink Elephants On Parade", marking arguably the [[Ur Example|first]] ''Disney'' Acid Sequence. (A case could be made for much of ''[[Fantasia (Disney)|Fantasia]]'', though.)
* [[Drunken Song]]: "We're Gonna Hit the Big Boss For a Raise"
* [[Early
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: After all the abuse Dumbo went through, having him become a worldwide sensation after buzzing his tormenters under the big top was so sweet.
* [[Ears As Hair]]: Before he tries to participate in the pachyderm pyramid trick, Dumbo's ears are tied above his head so he won't stumble on them. Guess what happens while he's running out to the spring board.
Line 83:
* [[Protest Song]]: Again, "We're Gonna Hit the Big Boss For a Raise".
* [[Ravens and Crows]]: Just the crows in this case.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Mrs. Jumbo's eyes turn red when defending Dumbo.
* [[Revenge]]: When the elephants blame all the trouble in the circus on Dumbo (even having the nerve to say that it was HIS fault his mother was in a separate cage), Timothy the mouse, although he just knew Dumbo, decides to scare them.
** When Dumbo reveals that he can fly, he ends up taking his own revenge by humiliating the clowns, the other elephants, and even ringmaster.
Line 90:
* [[Shadow Discretion Shot]]
* [[The Short Guy With Glasses]]: The short fat crow fits this trope.
* [[Shout
* [[The Speechless]]: Dumbo.
* [[Take That]]: The drunken clowns planning to hit up the boss for a raise is a dig aimed at the animators who [[TV Strikes|went on strike]] -- and succeeded in making Disney a union shop. The Disney character encyclopedia writer, John Grant, noted that the analogy doesn't make sense when you realize that the apparent leader of the circus in the film, The Ringmaster, is not depicted as being anything like Disney.
Line 102:
* [["The Villain Sucks" Song]]: Disney seems to consider ''Pink Elephants On Parade'' one, having included it on the ''Simply Sinister Songs'' CD.
* [[Visual Pun]]: A "pink elephant" was, at the time of this film, a decades-old expression for a drunken hallucination. During Timothy and Dumbo's hallucination sequence, they see a parade of ''literal'' pink elephants.
* [[What Song Was This Again?]]: The Spanish version of "Pink Elephants On Parade" isn't much like the original.
