Starring: Mel Blanc, Billy Bletcher, Sterling Holloway, Edward Brophy, Herman Bing, James Baskett
Continuity mistake: At the end of "When I See an Elephant Fly," the crows laugh and tumble to the ground. In the two shots of them laughing on the ground, you can see a crow dressed in red and pink with a cigar in his mouth on the left side of the screen. This crow plus the four other crows in the shot PLUS the leader of the crows equals six crows. Throughout the rest of the sequence, there are only five crows, and the extra crow is never seen again.
Ringmaster: Ladies and gentlemen! We will now present for your entertainment the most stupendous, magnificent, super-colossal spectacle! On this tiny, little, insignificant ball, we will construct for you a pyramid! Not of wood, not of stone.
Prissy: To hear him talk, you'd think he was going to do it.
Elephant Matriarch: The stuffed shirt.
Ringmaster: ...pyramid, of ponderous, pulsating, pulchritudinous pachyderms! I give you the elephants.
Trivia: When Timothy Mouse falls into a bucket of champagne, he emerges drunk and hiccups pink bubbles, which form a "Hidden Mickey."
Question: Are there any official names for the elephants (other than Dumbo and Mrs. Jumo)?
Answer: The elephants are Matriarch (voiced by Verna Felton), Catty (voiced by Noreen Gammill), Giddy (voiced by Dorothy Scott), and Prissy (voiced by Sarah Selby). Catty is the one who nicknamed the baby elephant "Dumbo."
Answer: All the elephants are credited as "Elephant." The only difference is "Matriarch Elephant."
