It's more "early" circus- which was based in the beginnings vaudeville, and acts, and freaks shows. I've never taken Dumbo to be like that....That's the more archetypical clown/elephant/animals circus. The two styles clash.

I see Goofini in black and white, for example. Dumbo, of course, would be in color.

They're both acts that can be found at a circus. That's all they need. I don't think anyone is going to be confused with it.

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper I don't think it ever was a Dumbo land. I think it's just supposed to be a circus. And I don't get how you're getting a cheapout feeling. They still have to retheme the ride.
