A whimsical, emotionally warm animated fable about overcoming self-doubt through friendship and discovering one's hidden gifts.

Dumbo is a baby elephant born with over-sized ears and a supreme lack of confidence. But thanks to his even more diminutive buddy Timothy the Mouse, the pint-sized pachyderm learns to surmount all obstacles.
