==Trivia==
*The original 1941 film has more (if not the most) plot changes in printed/book adaptations compared to other Disney films. The amount of changes vary depending on the book, but the most common change usually involves the exclusion of the "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence. It would usually be replaced with a scene of Dumbo falling asleep and having a dream about flying, before ending up in the tree the next morning. In addition to this:
**Sometimes, the circus would make Dumbo into a clown after his mother gets locked up and before he meets Timothy.
**Sometimes, Dumbo actually practices flying (resulting in many failed attempts) before he and Timothy get help from the crows. Additionally, Timothy would sometimes get the idea that Dumbo could be able to fly early after they first meet.
**Sometimes, at the end, Dumbo is able to fly perfectly after jumping from the clown platform but loses his feather mid-flight. Like the film, Timothy helps Dumbo to pull himself back up in the air.
**In a few adaptations, Dumbo is not as naïve as he is in the beginning of the film, notably being on the verge of crying after his ears are revealed and the circus elephants give him his nickname. Sometimes, he even has the ability to talk, notably in the Wonderful World of Reading adaptation by Random House in 1978.
**Starting in 2019, by the release of the live-action remake, book adaptations of the original film remove any appearances or references of the Crows.
