Dumbo

by António Martins-Tuválkin

The large-eared little elephant's personal flag is white with a large upper case block serif letter "D" in black. This is to be held and waved on top of the she-elephant pyramid (we all know how bad it ends...). At the end of that scene, when the circus tent is torn down, the "D" seems to be light blue. Apparent ratio is about 3:4. I couldn't spot any image showing the obverse (which is relevant for a flag such as this).

Race car finish flag

by António Martins-Tuválkin, 12 July 2007

During Dumbo's drunken dream, as the nightmare elephants transform into this and that, getting scarier and scarier, some show as antique race cars and a finish flag (see here) is waved breifly. This looks pale blue and white instead of black and white. It could be real (as much as stuff of dreams are), just like some elephants show pink, or it could be a way to convey black in scenes with poor contrast (compare with dumbo's flag, where the black "D" on the flag is also shown pale blue in one scene).

Unidentified flag or ensign

by António Martins-Tuválkin, 12 July 2007

Seen at the end of the movie, hoisted at Mrs. Jumbo sleek new private railcar, a white over red triangular pennant. The circus flag? A rail signal flag? Mrs. Jumbo personal flag? Just a gaudy decoration? I dunno.
