Alternative title wrong in my country for a movie and impossible to change it

Hi, I am French and, on IMDB, there are currently two alternative titles for this Walt Disney animated movie in my country: « l’éléphant volant » as « IMDB display title » and « Dumbo, l’éléphant volant » (without attribute):

This movie is famous and I noticed there was a mistake in these titles for France:

1- « IMDB Display title » should be « Dumbo » (not existing at the moment), as you can see here after:

https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbo_(film,_1941)

https://www.senscritique.com/film/Dumbo/438293

https://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=22037.html


https://disney.fandom.com/fr/wiki/Dumbo_(film,_1941)

2- « Alternative title » should be « Dumbo, l’éléphant volant », which is sometimes used without being the most used title:

https://www.telerama.fr/cinema/films/dumbo,48302.php

Anyway, « l’éléphant volant » alone, without « Dumbo » and without capital letter at the beginning does not exist in France. Unfortunately, this is the one currently displayed in France on IMDB


I made two contributions to correct this problem, but IMDB rejected both of them with the reason « Unable to verify ». However, I gave evidence, so I do not understand why. As the problem still remains and I do not know what to do to solve it, I come here to get some help and especially a solution. Here are my contributions rejected:

https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/210421-223345-798000/

https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/210422-140622-519000/

The most important is to see « Dumbo » somewhere in the title

Thanks for your help

Hi mompart -

 

Thanks for reporting the issue and including the supporting online links, I have now adjusted the French titles for this film, the changes should be live on the site shortly.

 

Cheers!
