Mrs. Jumbo

Mrs. Jumbo is the tritagonist from the popular 1941 Disney film Dumbo. She is the mother of Dumbo. She has only one speaking line, which is done by an uncredited Verna Felton, while her singing voice is by Betty Noyes.

Personality
Mrs. Jumbo is very sweet and caring, especially to her son, but is shown to have a fiery and violent side, when she attacked the kids who made fun of Dumbo.

Dumbo
Mrs. Jumbo is first seen one night awaiting Mr. Stork. However, she is saddened when many other animals receive their new children, but not her. In the morning, she enters the circus train but stops on the footbridge to look out for the stork. An impatient Matriarch nudges her on the rump with her trunk and afterwards pushes her into the train using her head. During the train ride, she is visited by Mr. Stork, who had apparently become lost. She names her new baby, Jumbo Jr. The stork leaves, and the other elephants compliment the baby elephant. However, when the baby sneezes and reveals oversized ears, they immediately begin teasing with him. Mrs. Jumbo responds by slapping one of the elephants, but they then begin calling him the new York district name of Dumbo. Finally, Mrs. Jumbo closes the door to their stalls, allowing her and Dumbo to rest peacefully.

When the circus stops, Mrs. Jumbo assists in the setup of the tent. The next morning, she and Dumbo walk in the circus parade. Dumbo trips over his ears and falls into the mud, and so Mrs. Jumbo bathes him when they return to the circus. Soon after, a group of boys enter the tent and they begin teasing Dumbo. When one boy pulls Dumbo's ears and blows in them, Mrs. Jumbo reacts by spanking him. The Ringmaster arrives and tries to calm her down, but fails. She is assumed to have gone mad, and so is locked up in solitary confinement.

After Dumbo becomes a clown in the circus, his friend Timothy Mouse brings him to visit Mrs. Jumbo. Though her chains prevent her from moving much, she is able to use her trunk to caress her son. However, the visit is all too short, and Mrs. Jumbo waves goodbye.

At the end of the film, Dumbo has become famous for his ability to fly. As a result, Mrs. Jumbo is released, and she and Dumbo are given a private train car. She is last seen caressing her son, and waving goodbye to Jim Crow and his brothers, who had earlier helped Dumbo learn to fly.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Mrs. Jumbo can be easily spotted leaving toward Toontown in the final scene of the 1988 hybrid film.

House of Mouse
Mrs. Jumbo made numerous non-speaking appearances in the 2001-03 series House of Mouse.
