Did the animated version of Dumbo and the Brave little Toaster cause a fear of clowns

Pretty sure it always existed, then movies like IT and Killer Klowns from Outer Space exploited it and made it mainstream. And, of course, you have increasingly sinister version of The Joker in various Batman media. Lots of other lower profile spooky books or media used them for effect like episodes of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" or "Goosebumps."
