[bassmaster912]

You're Late.

He always used to be pink.

[missmay2013]

If only all straight jackets were secured with a pretty bow...

[Phantomrose96]

My god...it's a PUPPY SIZED ELEPHANT!

~DFTBA :D

[Stussmeister]

I couldn't stop laughing after seeing the cat's expression at 5:05...

[colonist067]

I like the fact that this critter tends to make people go crazy around 'em.

[PCPopple]

Omg I have been looking this for years!!!

[ddd62291]

You don't see people drunk or smoking in cartoons these days

[neofrogbome1]

hu i saw it waking down the street two days ago

[pacholi11]

One of my favorite cartoons EVER!!!!!!!!

[EdmacZ]

Oh God, Tiny Elephant. Run for your lives.

[Fieryblaze101]

i think the cutest scene ever is when the tiny elephant is holding trunks and tails with the normal sized elephants on 4:50! xD

[GoLocutus]

9 people saw a tiny elephant

[j2times2006]

Therapist scene was hilarious!!!

[14597ojai]

I WANT IT!!! NOW!! Oh God!!!!

[misspinkpunkykat]

Why are the people so afraid of it? I'd scoup it up and keep it as a pet. I'd keep it in a dollhouse.

[michikoww]

I think it's cute. <3

[HCaddicted]

I wonder just how many people understand what the drunk means by "You're late, and you're supposed to be pink." LOL I crack up about that every time I see this cartoon.

[thecardude]

LMAO oh my god... this takes me way back this was my absolute favorite looney tunes cartoon... I never understood why they didnt make the tiny elephant into a series to be perfectly honest, it would have been great :P

[TristanLAX311]

LOUD AS FUCK

[AntiTheory]

My ears just got raped by a strange link to an incredibly loud YouTube video... Now I have hearing AIDS.

[toteH0se]

what's wrong with the guy on 0:56 ?!?

[HelloxNasty]

Aww how cute would that be if 5 inch tiny elephants existed?

I remember this!! I totally remember this! Thank you so much for uploading!

[NitroPunksMightHeads]

This is one of my favorite cartoons. :D I love how most of the people freak out over that elephant while the drunk and the little girl were the few who weren't as bothered. Anyone know what the name of that piece is that played a few times that was like the elephant's "theme song" in a way?

[mike232007]

If only Cartoon Network could take a look at these classics, again, and realize how much they screwed up with that new stuff they have on, now. Cartoon Network's gone straight down the drain

[wcrooster1]

Long Haired Hare is the cartoon.

[wolfshifter13]

"you're Late" hahahah only the drunk dude doesn't seem to notice

[cbryant6939]

@wolfshifter13 lol yea he always used to be pink

[carlangas018]

Lovely and Funny! :D Hahahaha Can't stop laughing!

[FutureEmperor420]

Ive seen this before- early 90's- they stopped showing them because of the obvious alcohol and cigarette references I believe.

[Stussmeister]

I love the cat's expression at 5:06. It's like the cat is thinking, "What the.......?!?!"

[thisismyname1920]

Fuck that was loud

[cheryklemish95]

nice job.! will watch this in webmovietube

[cha5]

0:33 "The S.S. Michael Maltese" :D

God I miss Chuck Jones.

[Chocohall]

Puppy Sized Elephant. Just sayin.

[NikitaFilatovFan3040]

HEY!!!!! Where's "The Mad Maestro (1939)"?

[michikoww]

CUTEST ELEPHANT EVER. I love the part with the clothespins.

[boingokky]

John!!!!! Marsha?????!!!!!

[GoblinXXX]

This kind of thing is really what Chuck Jones did best, when the humor is coming almost entirely from the character's expressions and reactions. He was unmatched in that area.

[jakeelee904]

the director of the cartoon oversees the whole production, comes up with the initial drawings and character designs...Charles M Jones was one of the best...I read his biography..if his Dad hadn't have worked selling stationary, Charles never would have started drawing...

[richintalent]

4:24 "You're LATE! They always USED to be pink!"

[motelcalifornia]

My goodness!! Glenn Beck is the voice of Genevieve!!! ROTFLMAO

[PsTwoKnight]

Why is everyone scared of it? I think a tiny elephant would be precious.

[PyramidHead6]

Whats the song that plays when the woman hangs her laundry? I know it, but cant remember. It sounds like a nursery rhyme.

[NyahCurly]

@PyramidHead6

This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands, this is the way we wash our hands so early in the morning. Then brush our teeth and comb our hair...... It's a nursery rhyme about hygeine

[PsoriasisJ]

@NyahCurly Ah, it sounded like a nursery rhyme. Ive heard it before, probably in some cartoon from Looney Tunes or Tom & Jerry.

[AshburnStadium]

@PyramidHead6 - It's "The Mulberry Bush", which has as its second verse, quite appropriately chosen by maestro Carl Stalling:

This is the way we wash our clothes

Wash our clothes, wash our clothes

This is the way we wash our clothes

So early in the morning

[TheCarolynquiroz]

How come everybody is afraid of a tiny elephant? I'd keep it!

[saphireroze001]

@TheCarolynquiroz

they are afraid of what they

dont understand. thats the trouble with the world today.

[guitar0wnz]

I love old chuck jones cartoons!!!!

[ProfessorIgor]

a CLASSIC !!! Robert C. Bruce even narrorates it.... I have been looking for this one a while !

[murielsartre]

John!

Marsha!

[12ManIron]

2 funny

[raggedyanarchist]

The elephant is so cute! Why is everyone so afraid of it... especially that one lady when he tried to help her hang laundry! Also, is the child's voice June Forray? Gret cartoon!

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

*LOUD TRUMPET!!!*

"You're late! He always used to be pink."

[anaw1188]

LOL!! awesome!! I think I have seen this.. I'm not sure.. the reactions are just hilarious!! xD thanks for posting it

[TheWabbajackX]

Hey, Warner Bros. Can I borrow your elephant to let loose in my school? XD Mass hysteria FTW!

[Elphaba1975]

Mrs. Swanson was a synthetic blond.

[TiffKing]

it's funny that out of everybody who saw the elephant the little girl was the only one who wasn't freaked out, childhood innocence

[TSUsolrac2012]

I'm not really sure why the people got so freak out over a tiny elephant. But my guesses are that they either thought they were seeing signs of insanity or this cartoon just shows how people get so scared or anxious over little things rather than more bigger problems.

[RondoOfBloodX]

LOL when the guy punches the eye doctor in the face after seeing Teeny.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

This is hands-down my favorite "Looney Toons" short of all time. I figured it was obscure, but when I mentioned it to one of my friends, he knew what I was talking about.

I love how something so unusual could cause so much havoc...and yes, the smoking cracks me up! It is usually portrayed on older cartoons as a social habit, here it is portrayed as a nervous response to seeing the elephant.

I love the drunk man who sees "Tiny" and says, "You're LATE!"

Thanks for uploading!

[Urilious]

love the sound of the elephant, I hear a roar in it.

[333999000A]

Thanks SO MUCH for posting. I've been looking for this for I don't know how long. I've described this cartoon to so many ppl over the years but no one ever remembered it.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Wow, I never had that problem. I mean, it's not like I've talked to that many people about it, but the ones I have talked to seem to remember it. It's a matter of knowing the name of it, which managed to elude me until about 5 years ago.

[chatnoirband]

I've never seen so much smoking in a cartoon before ;)

[ArcticPrism]

Ridiculous volume.

[theyearofourlordig88]

@ArcticPrism

if its too loud...you're too old

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

*Loud elephant trumpet*

Drunk (Reading his watch)-"You're late." (Walks away in a boiled owl stagger.) "He always used to be pink."

[teasnax]

awesome. not the surrealism that i was expecting, but atypical nonetheless.

[glummdead]

"Jon" "Marsha!"

[shuckslbj]

Why so loud?

[josekinga]

¿Cómo se llamó a este episodio en Latinoamérica?

[TIPTON340]

Michael Maltese was the Merry Melodies/ Looneytunes writer.. he also wrote for the Flintstones.

[momtogsquared]

I've been looking for this cartoon for years! This is where I got my daughter's name from-I've loved it since seeing this cartoon when I was 4. I finally got to show it to my Genevieve today. :)

[moviencartoons]

How can they be so terrified of a tiny significant elephant?

[KastiaVids]

I know! It's not terifying, it's adorable!

[jookiyaya]

haha this was considered opposite of slapstick comedy during that time. i can see this subtle funny humor.

[NoSeaChusma]

Obscure is right!  Thanx for sharing this! I haven't seen it years!!!!

[DrumCorpsAlum]

What's happened to cartoons? Kids now have to sit through abominations like "Spongebob."

[Jecgetmoney]

thank u!!!! someone other than me thinks this

[LemonyCain]

@DrumCorpsAlum Spongebob was inspired by Chuck Jones :)

[saphireroze001]

@DrumCorpsAlum

whats the matter with spongebob.

id dont see nothing wrong with him.

i thinks he's cute.

[fdslk1]

@saphireroze001 SpongoBob is annoying as hell and way to stupid for kids to watch, at least this humor is purely innocent, not annoying and not appealing to "random bullshit" with some sexual connotations.

[cosmiccandy]

@DrumCorpsAlum Whaddaya mean? Spongebob is the ONLY decent cartoon out there now!. I for one think it's great: it has so many well executed double meanings and kids as well as adults can laugh along to it.

[NitroPunksMightHeads]

@DrumCorpsAlum SpongeBob isn't an abomination and neither are the other cartoons that the current generation has. Your parents probably felt that the cartoons your generation grew up with were abominations.

[MrShaneo65]

@DrumCorpsAlum hey spongebob's cool so leave the sponge out of this it has that tex avery touch

[Mayhamsdead]

"Obscure Chuck Jones cartoon" is right! - I haven't seen this one either...but it fills me with nostalgia, non-the-less

[EnragedSephiroth]

I qeued this up at about 1:50am, it was louder than WWII. Thanks for uploading though!

[zordtrance3000]

Its funny how people are scared of a tiny elephant then agian some people are scared of mice if you know what I mean

[metallooney]

OOOPPSS!!!! I should have read farther.Someone already answered that question~!!!!--

[gullwing14]

[elephantmarch]

[jillgivler]

What're they all so scared of? If a neat little elephant like that came to my house I'd keep him. He could keep the cats in line. ;-)

[faithfulmonkey]

"I seen it."

Best newspaper headline ever!

[solesirching73]

LOL @ 4:00-4:08

"John!"

"Marcia!"

[OrangeRatchet09]

Man, this was a cartoon that was used in Daffy Duck's Quackbusters! Weird, because it seemed out of place for a Looney Tunes movie about ghosts.

Glad I found this cartoon!

[Kazeneko]

Drunk guy at 4:28. ROFL!!!

[WHaven1994]

Thank you Thank you Thank you. I have searched for this for years. This confirms what I know believe...If you want something, check Youtube first! This is what cartoons are all about!

[nct90]

that elephant is too cute! especially when he goes around helping people.

[honeegrrl]

Notice how everyone is smoking in this cartoon?

[Rabbit0]

I love this one.

[2hotinaz]

I just noticed that the voices were done by Mel Blanc, RIP. Why did 'Chuck' Jones get the credit for these cartoons? He only 'directed' them, (whatever THAT means in reference to cartoons) The actual WORK was done by many other people. Yes, they did get credit for their work, but really, how does one 'direct' a cartoon? Still, I really loved this. I never saw it before, and I was a cartoon 'nut' when I was young. Thanks for sharing.

[elephantmarch]

directing a "cartoon" requires no less effort then directing anything in live action. Chuck Jones was particularly adamant and drew all the major key drawings for the animators to keep everything solid. A director does just as much "work" as the "many other people". The cartoon would be a mess is there wasn't a main person with the final say and vision on everything. For a "cartoon nut" you seem quite oblivious to how their done.

[CantankerousAkane]

Very much agreed, elephantmarch. Anyone who assumes that animation direction entails nothing more than sitting around all day drinking tea while other people scramble to meet deadlines is really, REALLY speaking out of turn. 2hotinaz, do a little research before you go running your mouth like that! I would even argue that animation direction is MORE difficult and time-consuming than live-action film direction.

[ACcountryFan]

the cartoon director has the final say on the drawings and the scripts and everything else from layout's, etc etc.

the director puts his own personal stamp on the cartoons they direct by using drawings from their animators that suit a director's personal style. in a Friz Freleng directed cartoon chances were there would be lots of animation timed with music...that was his style. His unit of animators and lay-out artists submitted material for his approval....

[ACcountryFan]

So, basically, whatever you see in a cartoon was given the okay by the director...that's how a cartoon is said to have the director's stamp on it because it plays out using the director's personal sensibilities. if a director doesn't like a particular character design or doesn't like the way something may be animated, he tells his staff to do it over.

Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, Robert McKimson, Bob Clampett, and Tex Avery...all of those directors had a style and it shown in their cartoons.

[ACcountryFan]

once a director successfully conveys their style then it typically stays with them in whatever they do. Robert McKimson was like a blend of Bob Clampett and Friz Freleng...his cartoons could be slap-stick filled and have exaggerated characterizations or they could be the Foghorn Leghorn series which incorporated "Camp Town Races" at every opportunity...and we see Foghorn walking in rhythm when he sings the song to himself, stopping every few seconds to dance.

[ACcountryFan]

Just as important, though...if the audience DOESN'T like a cartoon...the director gets the blame...not the writer...not the producer...not the artist's...and the reason? because it's the director's job to say what's going to be in the cartoon and if the public doesn't react in a somewhat positive way, the director gets the blame for not putting together a cartoon that's popular.

[ACcountryFan]

so, as the others mentioned, the cartoon director is HUGELY essential. they also over-see the voice acting. if the director doesn't like the way someone's doing a character, they have the power to replace him or her with someone else. in the classic era, the director stood either next to Mel Blanc or inside the control booth and gave direction on how a line was to be read. So, the director is very much important.

[2hotinaz]

I love this. Why wasn't it ever made into a series? WB probably lost big bucks by not doing that. This was great. BTW, that 'scientist' at the end reminds me of someone, does anyone else see it? If so, WHO does he remind me of?

[MCxxWay]

Poor elebaby!!! I wish someone might have befriended him; aside from little Genevive.

[45465654698453453445]

Well, there is an upcoming Looney Tunes Golden Collection(number 6) that it is on. You can get it on amazon, or wait till it comes out.

[skylur44]

I LOVE this; looked everywhere for it; does anyone know where I can buy it on DVD? TY so much for posting!

[northnv]

Im Looking for a cartoon i dont know who produced it but it was based on figurative language. Some guy dies and explains his life to st. peter and uses all these figurative phrases... can anyone point me in the right direction?

[glowworm2]

That would be Tex Avery's "Symphony in Slang" It's amazing.

[SuaveGemini]

I love how he handles the bird yelling at him. Just calm as hell. lol

[julesmalone]

Thank you so much for posting this! I happened to see it on Cartoon Network one day in 2002 when I really needed a laugh. Afterward, I spent a lot of time searching for it on DVD and elsewhere, as well as telling people about it. I eventually recorded it on VHS (and guarded it with my life), but I've been hoping for a better copy ever since then. I'm quite relieved!

[jeero426]

Yes! Thank you for putting this up! No one I've talked to seems to know this cartoon. Are there anymore videos out there for it?

[PinchySkree]

Way too loud. "I keep a giraffe in mine" sounds familiar.

4:50 was the best 'j::j'

5:08 was so unexpected.

[Jacob890]

the drunk guy is the funniest.

YOU'RE LATE.

[SamBlob]

I drew a picture of a mouse-sized elephant scaring a human-sized mouse, and two people commented describing how it reminded them of a Looney Tunes cartoon. Neither of them could find it. Based on clues from both of them, I hunted for it, and lo! It is here! Thanks for posting this! :)

[pri32us]

thank you for uploading this. it's a classic.

[jillgivler]

OMG I've found it! I've told people about this cartoon and nobody believed me! I DID see an elephant in my birdbath!!!!!!

[Nyla5567]

lol that guy at 4:20 is wasted

[CenCalDevil]

The person at 01:34 is smoking a cigarrete.

[elephantmarch]

Who isn't smoking in this cartoon?

[OldsVistaCruiser]

As someone who has that "nasty, evil habit", that made me go back and take a look.

There are four smokers in this cartoon:

The stevedore (longshoreman) at the beginning

Man who calls police because the elephant is in his birdbath

Genevieve's mom (Marsha)

Man in front of crowd watching flagpole painter

[BestFavs]

so wow big deal some one is smoking

[CenCalDevil]

Back in the decades of 1930-1960, it was okay for cartoon characters to smoke. Because everyone smoked. The Flintstones smoked, too! But in the time of political correctness, all cartoons of these periods we're edited to take out smoking. It sets a bad example for children who have parents who don't do good examples.

[andyjay729]

The question is, WHAT were they smoking? :)

Seriously this is one of Warners' best. The Chuck Jones period was downright surreal at times. And you can't beat those facial expressions. I wonder; could this cartoon have been a reference to UFO sightings? This was around the time people first starting claiming to see them (early '50s), and of course they were widely dismissed as "mass hysteria".

it was in the original Jurass
