But you're still cute, and play good jazz.

I kinda remember this. This was on Pinwheel a while back.

Hamilton is a definite addition to Dumbo and Horton as far as first class cartoon elephants go, plus being a jazz fan to boot :)

I always like the words going right through Hamilton's head at 2:36.

Thank you so much for sharing this! The video Nax is talking about is Ultramarine's "Hooter - Carl Craig Remix"

I remember this on Pinwheel too!Excellent cartoon! The music is really cool! I always thought this was made in the US because at 4:21 they show the dollar sign!

Yeah....the fuckin memories...used to be always on after the 6 o' clock news on RTE1 in Ireland in the 70's/80's....they used to have real old fabled yarns too....pity someone wouldn't make the kids of today watch this....they might actually learn something...and i'm only 31....lol

YES! this was a staple of irish tv back in the 80's. Utterly delighted to see this again. Now, if someone can tell me what the piece of music by Johnny Dankworth is called I'd be beyond delighted. Thank you so much for uploading this.
