STUPID HORN, STUPID STUPID HORN!

@ Iwantherboots & acholl980. Thou are both correct. During the first few episodes where Sidney spoke with the "Ed Wynn"- like voice,the giraffe character was called "Carol". But later when Sidney's voice became higher and whinier,courtesy of Lionel Wilson,the giraffe was renamed,"Cleo". The latter name was still retained when Sidney spoke with the "Hugh Herbert"- like voice,courtesy of Dayton Allen. And regardless of which name,she still spoke with that "Carol Channing"- like lisp.

[Iwantherboots]

Her name is Cleo, not Carol. She has a slight lisp.

[acholl980]

Does anyone mentioned that Carol the giraffe sounds like Carol Channing?

[ENACODNOM]

The weakest of the 19 Sydney the Elephant cartoons! My rating *½

[Granitoons]

Sidney's voice totally changes from the original! He sounds like Al G. Swindler from 'Garfield & Friends' in this one, he sounded like Ed Wynn in 'Sick, Sick Sindey'.

Sidney's voice totally changes from the original! He sounds like Al G. Swindler from 'Garfield & Friends' in this one.

Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy elephant!

One of my favorate cartoon of the rockin' 60's, a funny classic. I love it A fine mess Sidney got into. Ha Ha. I remember Sidney in 1966-67.

Does Dayton Allen do the voice of all the characters in this cartoon?

[67nairb]

Elephants weigh far more than 1,940 lbs. Try 14,000 lbs. That's how much Jumbo weighed at Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Lionel Wilson was Sidney's voice from 1958 through '62; during the final year of production (1962-'63), Dayton Allen [using his "Hugh Herbert" impression] succeeded him, with Wilson {and Allen} voicing the other animals. This one was produced in 1963.

I used to watch these in the mini cartoon theaters. It was a red machine that played old cartoons for a quarter

[pohpi907]

I have to find out video of Sydney the Elephant.. I do not recognize this voice actor :(

[toiseywoisey]

Louie Nye?

[nanlisa]

[nzvion]

[pieffeenne60]

Awesome cartoon, very beauty music!!!

[evilhamsterz]

his body is so BIG yet his feat are so SMALL!! AWESOME!!!

[GinaEmacs]

Yeah! I've been trying to figure out the name of this toon for DECADES! People I've met who felt they were cartoon experts thought I must've been making it up trying to stump them. Thanks for YouTube! Well, if anyone knows the other one that's been bugging me... Cartoon from the 60s I believe with an alien (not Gazoo/Flintstones). The show was like a toon version of My Favorite Martian. Thanks!

[retrotvluver]

To GinaEmacs: It might be Astronut, a later Terrytoons character.

[GinaEmacs]

You are right! You win the cupie doll! Thanks for replying!

[ramblinrik]

Please add more.

[nycruise]

I remember Sydney having "gayer" voice - and being quite paranoid.

[vynilistic]

Versatile actor & voice-over artist Dayton Allen, who also did Deputy Dawg & Heckle & Jeckle among other Terrytoon characters plays Sidney in this particular cartoon.

[teverhat]

Thankyou!I remember this cartoon,especially the music in the background.I'd love to see more episodes.

[mowm88]

I remember these--even as little kids we weren't that thrilled w/ these. But thanks for posting it! I associate them w/ Sugar Bear toons for some reason.

[MuaddibAtreides]

Been searching all over the web based only on a mental picture of this show, thank you so much for bringing back the memories.

Great job.

[seffie59]

Excellent video, brings back many good memories. Thanks for posting, please post more.

[lukmaaa]

Wow! Thanks for posting it! I grew up on this series, love it. Where can you buy it or get it? Please post more:)

[iascomd]

This elephant is the coolist cartoon elephant ever.

can you tell me were i can buy all the episodes in the U.S or copys or what ever, i would really apreciate it.

[styngalyng]

Try ebay. Terrytoons on VHS pop up pretty often. In fact, I've sold some of them myself. Other terrytoons like Hashimoto, Deputy Dawg, Sad Cat, Hector Heathcoate, etc....all of them show up on ebay from time to time.

[SenMuJie]

Are those all the cartoons that used to play in those Red Cartoon Movie boxes? You know those red movie boxes, you put in a quarter and it plays a short cartoon like this one or Hekyll and Jekyll.

[ximenao1]

I saw this same episode years ago when I was only a little nerd... Thanks for posting!!!!

[mechanicalvalve]

[despangel]

[mightyfilm]

Man... they don't make cartoons like that anymore...and I'm greatful for it. YUK! I like Terrytoons and all, but clearly not their best work.

[lunaridgeway1]
