The Ringmaster

The Ringmaster is one of the villains imprisoned in The Isle of the Lost. He is now the father of Hermie Bing.

Before The Isle of The Lost
He is first seen when the train named Casey Junior is all loaded and ready to go and shouts "All aboard!" and the train whistles back "All aboard! Let's go!" He is seen again leading the circus parade.

When some mean kids start to make fun of Dumbo's big ears, Mrs. Jumbo, Dumbo's mother, starts attacking them to protect her baby. However, the Ringmaster, not knowing she was provoked, tries to stop her, only to be splashed into Dumbo's barrel where he takes a bath in.

Furious, the Ringmaster has the "mad elephant" locked up in a cage. Later, he talks to his assistant Joe about a pachyderm pyramid but has no clue what his climax will be. Timothy the Mouse, who (along with Dumbo) heard this, convinces the Ringmaster in his sleep to make Dumbo the climax so that Mrs. Jumbo can be let out. The next day, the Ringmaster puts the act into use, but Dumbo trips over his ears and causes the pyramid to fall, setting off a catastrophic chain of events which leads to the tent itself falling down and leaving the Ringmaster horrified at the disaster that resulted from this big idea.

Seeing no other use for Dumbo, the teams the little elephant with the clowns so to give him a role without causing anything disastrous. During a show in which Dumbo jumps off a higher building, he sees Dumbo soar over the crowd. He points in amazement to see something he never saw before. He is finally humiliated in public when Dumbo learns how to fly, shoots peanuts at him, and throwing one of the clowns' elephant mask after he again falls inside a barrel. The mask then lands on his butt.

Though he isn't seen again, the Ringmaster finally makes Dumbo the main star of his circus, gives Dumbo his own train car, and best of all, lets Mrs. Jumbo out of solitary confinement.

Trivia

 * The Ringmaster's crimes were
 * Imprisonment (Mrs. Jumbo)
 * Humiliation (Dumbo)
 * His role is similar to Aunt Sarah from Lady and The Tramp, Sir Ector from The Sword In The Stone, and Amos Slade from The Fox and The Hound as all four start off as antagonistic towards the protagonists (Dumbo for Ringmaster, Lady for Sarah, Wart for Ector and Tod for Amos), but they reform at the end of the films.
 * In his film, he's not really "evil", but rather a strict man trying to run his circus the best way he can.
