Through the use of psychological trickery and a feather from Specks, Jim grants Timothy a "magic feather", which they claim will make Dumbo fly. Ashamed of their mockery, Jim tries to make amends and offers to help Dumbo fly. He shares Dumbo's background with the crows, who are immediately effected and moved to tears. The crows laugh at Timothy's wild theory, and start to sing " When I See an Elephant Fly" as a mock.įurious with the crows' heckling, Timothy rebukes their behavior. After a moment of thought, Timothy believes it and deduces that Dumbo used his giant ears to fly. As Timothy, thinking out loud, wonders how they ended up in the tree, Jim jokingly suggests they flew. Timothy and Dumbo panic and plummet into a pond, garnering more laughs from the crows. Timothy remains too dazed to realize his predicament until Jim notes that the former and an elephant are in their tree. The minute Timothy mentions " pink elephants", Jim and the crows burst into laughter. Jim Crow wakes Timothy up with his smoking. Just then, their leader, Jim Crow, arrives and flies down to investigate.
Fats, Preacher, Straw Hat and Glasses are utterly confused yet surprised at such a sight. The crows first appear in the woods where they spot Dumbo and Timothy sleeping on their tree. Alongside Timothy, they provide Dumbo with much needed confidence, courage and support, and it is their involvement that ultimately leads to Dumbo's rise to stardom, and reunion with his incarcerated mother.Īs a group, they have a familial camaraderie, referring to themselves (and others close to them) as "brothers". Ashamed of their initial behavior upon hearing Dumbo's tragic story, however, the crows acted as surrogate father figures and proved themselves to be excellent and wise mentors by teaching Dumbo to fly through the use of psychological encouragement. The quintet of crows are generally good-natured, warm-hearted, caring, and friendly, albeit with tendencies towards jokes and teasing, as was the case of Timothy and Dumbo over the idea of a flying elephant.
