The film is a remake of Disney's 1941 classic animation of the same name. It tells the story of a baby elephant called "Dengbo". Since birth, he has grown a pair of extremely large ears and has been ridiculed by circus members.

Compared with the original single story line, the live-action version has a richer plot, not only will the story be told from a circus perspective, but will also add a parallel line to tell a unique family story. A baby elephant with big ears was born in the Medici Circus. His peculiar appearance has attracted a lot of ridicule and abuse, but there are two kind children who take good care of this elephant baby. The baby elephant accidentally "flyed" during a performance, and the secret was discovered by an entrepreneur. He decided to spend a lot of money to build a circus, and when everyone thought that the dream had come true, he realized that it was all an ambitious conspiracy. Faced with a circus owner, an entrepreneur who exploits and abuses elephants, and an imprisoned mother, how will Dumbo escape and be free?

As a baby elephant, his curiosity and fear of the world and his warm interaction with his mother can all be expressed in his body language. Dumbo's emotions can also be discerned from his eyes and movements. The gradually cheerful little eyes when playing with the children, and the nervousness and helplessness when performing. The details in Dumbo aren't just finer.
