And the greatest comedies are featured and assembled for your entertainment.

Ain't that the funniest thing you ever saw? Look at his ears.

Hey, guys, lookit! Smitty's an elephant!

- Aw, let me see! - Boo!

- You can't hide him from us. - Yeah, his ears are still stickin' out.

- Come on! - We wanna see him!

- We wanna laugh. - Sure, that's what we came for.

Hey, the biggest slingshot in the world.

- Hey! Cut that out! - Hey, let's get out of here.

- You're hurting me! Help! - Here, you! What's going on?

Down. Mrs.Jumbo, down!

Surround her. Tie her down.

Get down!

Calm down! Tie her down!

Darling, it was so funny.

Oh, my dear, can you bear it?

When she doused the ringmaster, I just thought I'd die.

Well, personally, I think she went a bit too far.

After all, one mustn't forget one is a lady.

- Oh, you're right, dear. Yes. - Oh, that's very true.

Oh, well, I suppose that's mother love.

But it's certainly no excuse for what she did.

Mother love might cover a multitude of sins.

It's true, my dear, and she has such a streak in--

A guy can't eat in peace.

Yes, but mother love does--

Gab, gab, gab. Always gossipin'.

Girls, girls! Listen!

Have I got a trunk full of dirt.

- Well, darling, tell us all. - Go on, go on.

Well, I heard today that they have put her in solitary confinement.

- No! - You don't mean it!

Oh, how awful for her!

Well, l-I must say, l-I don't blame her for anything.

You're absolutely right. It's all the fault of that little--

F-R-E-A-K.

Yes, him with those ears that only a mother could love.

What's the matter with his ears?

I don't see nothin' wrong with 'em. I think they're cute.

Ladies, ladies! It's no laughing matter at all.

Oh. Oh, she's right, girls.

Don't forget that we elephants have always walked with dignity.

His disgrace is our own shame.

- Yes, that's true. That's very true. - Oh, indeed it is.

Well, frankly, I wouldn't eat at the same bale of hay with him.

- No. Right. - Me either, dearie.

-I should say. -Nor I. That's just how I feel about it.

Here he comes now.

Hmm. Pretend you don't see him.

Shh.

How do ya like that? Givin' him the cold shoulder.

Poor little guy.

There he goes, without a friend in the world.

Nobody to turn to.

Oh, I'll do somethin' about this.

A mouse!

So ya like to pick on little guys, huh?

Well, why don't you pick on me?

A proud race.

Overstuffed hay bags!

Boo!

Still afraid of a mouse.

Ho-ho, boy. Wait'll I tell the little guy.

Where is he? Oh. Hey, Dumbo.

You can come out now.

Golly. Maybe I scared him too.

Look, Dumbo. I'm your friend.

Come on out, won't ya?

You're not really afraid of little me, are ya?

Ya are? Must've overdid it in there.

Don't know my own strength sometimes.

Dumbo. Look what I got for ya.

Uh-uh-uh-uh. Ya gotta come out first.

Too bad ya don't trust me, 'cause I thought...

uh, well, you--you and me, uh, we might get your mother out of the clink.

Oh, but I guess you wouldn't be interested. So long, Dumbo.

Well, that's more like it.

Ya know, your ma ain't crazy.

She's just brokenhearted.

It ain't nobody's fault you got them big ears.

Uh-oh. Boy, I stepped in it that time.

Aw, gee, Dumbo. I think your ears are beautiful.

Sure. As a matter of fact, I think they're very decorative.

You know, lots of people with big ears are famous.

Ho-ho, boy. All we gotta do is build an act.

Make ya a star. A headliner!

Dumbo the Great!

Uh-oh. The great what?

Ya know, Dumbo, we gotta get an idea.

Not just any idea. Something colossal, like, uh--

Have I got an idea! What an idea!

Huh. He never had an idea in his life.

Just visualize:
One elephant climbs up...

on top of another elephant until finally...

all elephants...

have constructed an enormous pyramid...

of pachyderms.

I step out.

I blow the whistle.

- Yeah. - The trumpets are trumpeting.

- Yeah. - And now...

comes the climax!

Yeah? What is the climax?

Hmm. I don't know.

I knew he never had nothin'.

Well, maybe it comes to me...

in a vision while I dream.

- Good night,Joe. - Good night, Boss.

Climax.

Climax! Dumbo, you're a climax.

I'll be back in a minute. I'm gonna take care of your future.

I am the voice of your subconscious mind.

Your inspiration.

Now, concentrate.

Remember? Your pyramid of elephants...

are standing in the ring waitin' for a climax.

- Climax. - You are now getting that climax.

- Climax. - How's the reception?

Comin' through okay? Good.

Suddenly, from the sidelines, comes your climax.

- Climax. - Gallopin' across the arena.

- Arena. - He jumps from a springboard...

to a platform.

At the very pinnacle of your pyramid, he waves a flag...

for a glorious finish!

- Finish? - And who is your climax?

The little elephant with the big ears!

The world's mightiest midget mastodon! Dumbo!

What?

- Dumbo. - Dumbo.

- Dumbo. - Dumbo.

- Dumbo. - Dumbo.

I got it! I got it!

Ladies and gentlemen...

we will now present for your entertainment...

the most stupendous, magnificent...
