How are we so Sure elephants aren't really Dancing like this Wayyy in the jungle miles and miles away from Civilization? it's like the old riddle...."If a tree falls in the middle of the woods and nobody's around to hear it, Does it make a sound"
Really, people? You are really so easily manipulated? GE is laughing all the way to the bank with your grandchildren's money. A movie? GE also built the nuclear reactors that exploded in Japan. GE is the world's largest media company.
The company reported worldwide profits of $14.2 billion, and paid zero dollars in taxes. They ain’t no great American company. They don’t care about jobs for Americans. They care only for profits.
I love this advertisement, but sadly I'm a stickler for detail =P. I would like to point out that Elephants can't jump at all. Their leg structure won't allow it. =(
Its so sad that they cannot experience the joys of jumping.
GE Forget about fuel cells, get the government to lift the ban on growing hemp (non-thc). Its was the real "fuel of the future" stated by Henry Ford, all his cars where first designed to run on hemp oil (Big oil, and you "GE" have a hand in the oil made the gov ban the hemp industry in early 1900's). One acre of hemp equals 4.2 acres of trees to make the same amount of paper and only takes 4 months to grow. 6-7% of US land is need to fuel all USA's needs. That's easy since it can grow anywhere.
I love how they have an African elephant and a chimpanzee in the middle of a rain forest surrounded by bird species from South America. Lol. Anyway, I loved this commercial when it first came out and I still love it. Elephants are freakin' adorable.
These are by far the cutest advertisement I have ever seen. GE should take this little elephant and sponsor a full legnth motion picture of him and donate all the proceeds to needy chldren in America!
I loveee this commercial. My mother and I used to think this was the cutest thing...bless her. She loved animals. She felt the same as you, though. =(. Which I'm not frowning at, just miss her.
@Humberto4790. yup. all you need to do is dig a little. GE is a massive company thats owns alot of other smaller, and more niche businesses, and at the end of the day, they are shareholder driven. Just google GE and landmines, then google GE and coal production. See what you get.
@awrsmith Fasinating, I found several pages that deny any claims that GE owned, funded, endorsed, or sold products to companies that make landmines. But I'm sure you're much smarter and have far more in depth resources than any business journalist out there. What are your opinions on black helicopters or alien reptiles?
@tendoking48 'fasinating' has a 'c' in it for future reference. You lose a little punch when you can't spell right. There is plenty out there to support that claim, even an open letter from 'banminesusa' to their largest shareholders towards adopting a future policy against involvement in landmines and cluster bombs.
@awrsmith Wah, my comment has a typo in it! Okay, and? Landmines are war weapons, and during wartime EVERYONE makes weapons, there are rifles made by IBM floating around, granted old landmines aren't the best things to toss around, but to run around badmouthing a company for what they did in the past is a really poor practice.
@tendoking48...So what is it then? Firstly, you refute the landmine claims, then you say it's okay if it's in wartime, because EVERYONE is doing it. Well maam, I completely disagree. As a consumer, I want to know where my dollars are being spent. You are invested somehow with GE clearly, and I will say, that I like Immelman as much as any CEO, but come on, GE makes, or has made, landmines up until VERY recently, and those landmines kill more than just enemy soldiers, they still kill kids today.
@awrsmith So does ebola. People die every day it can't be stopped no matter how much you picket big business, why not devote your time to something useful instead of just being another malcontent?
@tendoking48 I spend 4 mths/yr volunteering at an eye clinic in Moshi Tanzania. Is that useful enough? Secondly, shouldn't there be checks and balances for big business, or we are okay to let them run amok while serving only shareholder interests. Where do you draw the line on big business' social impacts? Not on landmine production obviously, and on that note, there is a great article in the Harvard Business Review, noting GE's landmine sales in the Bosnian war (1990's).
Wow... commercials are better than shows now! almost makes me wish i watched tv... really sad that G.E's not 'in step' with the image they promote. They are one of the creepiest corporations in existance today!
I don't care whether the elephant is computer generated or not. This is an adorable, light-hearted, uplifting commercial that puts a smile on my face every time I watch it. I think its sad that you people can't just take it for what it is and that you insist on analyzing the fun out of it. Its a commercial...let it go.

This elephant is not dancing. This is a behavior called weaving that is an elephant's way of expressing distress. Watch the elephant abuse videos on this website esp. the "big top at ringling brothers" one." They explain a little bit about weaving in the video. Also visit the Elephant Sanctuary at elephants dot com for more info on elephant behaviors.
I LOVE this commercial! I even contacted GE when it first began running to compliment them on it! I am ecstatic to find it here! It's on my My Space page now!!!
That is sooooo cute, an Im a guy... Reminds me of that little elephent thing on ICE AGE 2 that say... "SOMETIME I JUST THOW UP" When Menfred is telling a story at the water hole... lol CUTE...
