Line 37:
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Dumbo is originally named after him, and his mother sounds wistful when she reveals this, but that's the extent we know of him.
* [[Disaster Dominoes]]: Dumbo does this to a gigantic tower of adult elephants which ends up ''collapsing the circus tent''!
* [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: "Pink Elephants On Parade", marking arguably the [[Ur Example|first]] ''Disney'' Acid Sequence. (A case could be made for much of ''[[
* [[Drunken Song]]: "We're Gonna Hit the Big Boss For a Raise"
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Casey Jr. (or a prototype of him) makes an appearance in the previously released Disney film [[The Reluctant Dragon]].
* [[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
* [[Ear Wings]]
* [[Eek!
* [[Expy]]: Timothy is very similar to [[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Jiminy Cricket]], but far less iconic.
* [[Flanderization]]: The ringmaster in the movie wasn't necessarily an outright villain, just yet another human jerkass. But he's upgraded to being the main antagonist for Dumbo in Disney's ''Villains' Revenge.''
* [[Floating in A Bubble]]: Happens to Timothy during the drinking scene.
Line 62:
* [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]]: The other circus elephants, the clowns, the ringmaster, the boys that make fun of Dumbo, even the crows (but they act nicer to Dumbo later on). Nearly every character besides Dumbo, Mrs. Jumbo, and Timothy is one.
** [[Asshole Victim]]: One of the kids making fun of Dumbo gets grabbed and ''spanked'' by Mrs. Jumbo (though he is not killed).
** [[Jerk
* [[Large Ham]]: Timothy at times. The Ringmaster too.
* [[Literal Metaphor]]: The pink elephant parade, given that "pink elephant" was a decades-old expression for a drunken hallucination.
* [[Literary Agent Hypothesis]]: At the very end of the film, one of the [[Spinning Paper]] newspapers announces that (the now famous) Dumbo's manager (Timothy Mouse) has struck a Hollywood deal.
* [[Magic Feather]]: [[Trope Namers]].
* [[Magical Negro]]: The crows, though initially every single one of them is a [[Jerkass]]. Or maybe every one is a [[Jerk
* [[Mama Bear]]: Really, those kids deserved what was coming to them.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: In a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]], the mute main character is nicknamed Dumbo. Dumb used to mean "unable to speak."
Line 78:
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Jumbo's mother only says one line "Jumbo...Junior" while giving a name to her son.
* [[Only in Florida]]: ...would a flying elephant be born.
* [[Only Known
* [[Papa Wolf]]: He may not be a dad, and he may not be a wolf (since he's a mouse), Timothy sticks up for Dumbo by scaring the elephants tormenting him and yelling at the crows for constantly laughing at him...thus making them [[Jerk
* [[Pink Elephants]]: Featured in the most famous part of the film. And no, this film is not the [[Trope Namers]]--the phrase existed long before this film was conceived.
* [[Protest Song]]: Again, "We're Gonna Hit the Big Boss For a Raise".
Line 87:
** When Dumbo reveals that he can fly, he ends up taking his own revenge by humiliating the clowns, the other elephants, and even ringmaster.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Dumbo.
* [[Separated
* [[Shadow Discretion Shot]]
* [[The Short Guy
* [[Shout-Out]]: Casey Jr. says "I think I can" going up a hill, from ''The Little Engine that Could''.
* [[The Speechless]]: Dumbo.
