Baby Mine was composed by Frank Churchill with lyrics by Ned Washington. In the original animated film, the song was featured in a touching memorable scene that highlights the love between parents and children.

It was performed by Betty Noyes during a scene where Mrs. Jumbo serenades our titular baby elephant while she was locked in a circus wagon. The original song had also earned an Academy Award nominated for Best Original Song.

From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the all-new grand live-action adventure Dumbo expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus.
