It’s been 70 years since audiences still saw an elephant fly for the first time, but this classic Walt Disney animated feature is as much fun as anything that’s been releases since. Maybe even more. The story, about an elephant who is ostracized for his over-sized ears, is classic and the songs, even the lullaby “Baby Mine” avoid the usually sugary sweetness of a Disney soundtrack. Above all, the animation is amazing, particularly when the artist let their animation run wild to show what might be running through a baby elephant mind if he accidentally got drunk on cheap champagne (Pink Elephants). Be sure to watch the extras and discover how a tight deadline and even tighter budget helped make this movie the success it was.
