One day at a show, he is taunted by a group of kids, inciting his mother into a rage that gets her locked up. After Dumbo's ears cause an accident that injures many of the other elephants, he is made to dress like a clown and perform dangerous stunts. Everything changes when Dumbo discovers that his enormous ears actually allow him to fly, and he astounds everyone at the circus with his new talent.

How would you like to be left out alone...

And why? I ask ya, why?

Just because he's got those big ears, they call him a freak.

The laughingstock of the circus.

Then when his mother tried to protect him...

they threw her into the clink.

And on top of that, they made him a clown!

Socially, he's washed up.

Ah, but what's the use of talkin' to you coldhearted birds?
