Dumbo's Circus was a live-action/puppet show that aired on the Disney Channel. It premiered in 1985 and ran for 114 episodes, with reruns continuing until 1997. The main characters were portrayed by animatronic puppets. It was a companion show to Welcome to Pooh Corner, which had similar characters and production techniques.In the show Dumbo, the titular elephant from Disney's 1941 classic is now grown and runs his own circus. No other characters from the film appeared, in their place was a cast of original anthropomorphic animal characters, who perform in the circus and help Dumbo run it: Lionel the lion; Lilli, a cat; Sebastian, also a cat; Fair Dinkum, a koala; Q.T., an orangutan, and Barnaby, a dog.Notable for being Jim Cummings' first professional acting job and the first in a long line of projects he'd do for Disney, voicing Lionel. | |

| Dumbo's Circus / int_25f33d8 | comment |
Sick Episode: In one episode, the circus travels to Lilli's hometown, but Lilli comes down with a measles-like illness just as they arrive, so the others build a lifelike mechanical copy of her to perform in her place. | |

Forgetful Jones: Barnaby has an extremely poor memory, the others often have to remind him of what he's supposed to do. One episode centers around him getting lost due to forgetting where the circus was. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
| Dumbo's Circus / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: Dumbo's "lucky feather" does give him the ability to fly, unlike the original film, when it turns out that Dumbo can fly all by himself without the need of the feather. This is illustrated in one episode when Dumbo's feather disappears and the show can't possibly go on without it. The main characters are all Funny Animals, most of them fully dressed, and they talk to humans and perform human-like roles in the circus. In the original film, the animals are Nearly Normal Animals who can't talk to humans and who perform typical animal acts in a human-run circus. | |

Hypno Fool | |
| Dumbo's Circus / int_d40d7fc1 | comment |
Hypno Fool: In one episode, Barnaby adds hypnosis to his magic act and hypnotizes Fair Dinkum to run in circles whenever he sees the color red. Then Sebastian uses Barnaby's hypnosis song to make Lionel grab a broom and sweep the floor whenever he sees the color blue, and to make Q.T. jump around and knock things over (so Lionel will have to sweep them up) whenever he sees the color yellow. In the end, Barnaby hypnotizes Sebastian to do chores like mad whenever he sees those three colors, and then returns Fair Dinkum, Lionel, and Q.T. to normal. | |

Exact Words: In one episode, Dink gets a crystal ball that shows him the future. Among the future things he sees, he tells Q.T. that he will play like the organ like never before and Lionel that he will fly in the show. As it turns out, Q.T. "plays like never before" because he gets tied up and has to use his feet which he never had, and Lionel flies after holding onto too many balloons. | |
