Silly Symphony - Elmer Elephant

[Worrof955]

I just wanna hug that little elephant! :D

[EmmaRVW]

he has to listen at chistina arguirla - beautyful......

[shanabowzi]

bully...



[31operafan]

I HATE it when people are judged just by the way they look! <:( I think our society focuses more on looks than character than it ever did. I think some of what our society thinks is bullsh**. I NEVER judge people by how they look; what I look for in a person is friendliness, kindness, and a good sense of humor, personality traits similar to my own. Not looks.

[ryno123321]

Kids can be cruel so this short film caught the aspect of the issue

[PrincessMedia2011]

Its weird that I'm watching this just 2 days before my birthday. ;)

[Ivor356]

That almost sounds like Krusty the clown's laugh @ 4:36 and he sounds like Jimminy Cricket when he talks

[Zizumia1]

I still wish animations were still hand drawn today. It would keep cartooning as an art, as well as entertainment.

[KittyCbug]

Little boys shouldnt be grabing another little boys trunks,it comes off kinda homo

[socdk]

Girls love guys with big trunks...

[jolibelle]

the monkeys have GOT to be the voices of the mice from cinderella! i swear the voices are familiar!!!! :)

[GakuenAlice4Ever]

that's so cute! luv it!!!!!! <3 <3 XD

[Basisforstace]

This..is..seriously..deep...

[fancyface432]

at least their they r more discrete than some ppl when it comes to kissing

[southpark34005]

I felt bad for that little elephant - all those little brats pickin' on him...how dare they! In fact, that hippo's voice was actually funny-soundin'

[mikeyyandeyy]

i grew up with these



[toob95]

So... he get picked on for having the biggest spout of all the boys?!

[chmoud92]

fuck you

[animeisawesome11]

When I heard the siren I immediately knew how the short was gonna end. lol

[animeisawesome11]

4:46 That was so random, I burst out laughing!! Hahaha

[legocityrulz2]

2:34 that looks awfully familar (the hat)

[legocityrulz2]

tillies a long way off from shere khan

[mrcoolrage1]

for two days ago my class saw this video so we could learn about being nice

[yummieyummie123]

how does that hippo have any friends? He's weirder than the elephant.

[yummieyummie123]

That girl is the only girl at her birthday party? Strange...

[SuperNaomi29]

@yummieyummie123 good point

[wesanderson75]

I don't know why Disney has forsaken making things like this. I saw "The Klumps II" on TV the other night and it was unbearably foul. "Uncle Walt" would be spinning in his grave....or cryogenic capsule, whichever you believe he is in now.

[Sayinguyca]

Ggbvgfffddsn

[TheSapphireEmpress96]

Isn't Tilly a little young to be living in that house all by herself? And that hippo's got a lot of nerve talking; who'd want to kiss him with that mouth?

[DisneyChick07]

this is great clip to show any kid whose ever been bullied ~ once you get through the storm, your sure to find a rainbow<3

[bingobongo445]

@DisneyChick07 I was also bullied when i was young, until i beat the daylights out of a few of them. Then i heard was oh why did you beat on that kid, i would respond with A he deserved it, and B STFU you didn't help me when i needed it. And i would use just about anything i could get my hands on broken bottles, belts ,bricks knives, sticks.

[MichaelCapelle]

FURRIES!!!!!! FURREIS ALL OVER!!!!!!!

[bingobongo445]

 Smart ass flames!

[Evemauy]

That was pure genius and completely entertaining.

[lalalaHilary]

Cutest cartoon kiss ever at the end.

[Bodacea2011]

THEY ARE SO DARN RUED.ELMER HAS A FUNNY NOSE IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A RUBBER HOSE.

[Bodacea2011]

they are so darn rued.ELMER HAS A FUNNY NOSE, IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A RUBBER HOSE

[Bodacea2011]

elmer has a funny nose, it looks just like a rubber hose.so sad.

[Bodacea2011]

elmer has a funny nose, it looks just like a rubber hose.so sad

[Golemoid]

Elmer Elephant, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck... anyone else see the pattern here?

[HoundDogEntertainmnt]

Adoreable

[PastaBakeMilkShake]

Why do they always make such simpering characters? That's the only fault I find in these otherwise sweet and meaningful little animations :)

[bobulea]

Uhuuuu

[crystalchris94]

i remember seeing this when i was little

[pokinoiombra]

I had a copy of the book version of this....I think it was my mother's....

[EggeBogge]

Oooh I remember this so well :)

[Disneygirl3715]

I have this one in my treasury

[feoz2108]

las diferencias hacen la diferencia.

[MissAnonymousDepp11]

Don't accidentaly pause @ 5:03

[80z90zhouzemuzicgrl]

bullys come from a broken home ,bullied themselves.

[steamerthesteamtrain]

that bear looks like mickey mouse

[lilmissmusic2012]

tillie sounds like bettie boop

[Lyiend]

Modern version- Elmer gets a nose job

[lfjsldfgjlksdfjgk]

Haha...I dated a guy just like the hippies (i was young and it didn't last long)

[avalanchesuperstar]

The bully must be embarrassed of his tiny dick. If I was Elmer I'd beat the crap out of that pussy.

[WillisFilms1]

Why do I get the feeling that the reason the tree caught fire was like that one scene in Pleasantville?

[tgec2]

grate 

[tgec2]

grat

[melissa7297]

13 people didnt get to blow out their birthday cake

[sonicawesomeness]

I think the moral is- Love yourself no matter what you look like ♥

[ValisHD]

6:53 - 6:54 7:17 BADAZZ Elephant!

[oblivionlov3r]

7:18 so thats where they got the idea for the movie "wanted"

[baxterfilms]

Elmer's reaction at around 2:27 is like "OK, what the hell?"

[DieErsteSara]

true

[owendamaster]

poor elmer :'(

[MultiCARTOON]

I love this cartoon 2d animation much better than 3d animation i wish i was a cartoonist

[francescahatessally]

OMG I Remember That i watch that when i was 7 now i'm 13 good memories

[artizek]

Don't let them get to you, Elmer. Girls love a man with a huge...uh...trunk.

[Bitsy83]

@artizek Nice save....

[ValisHD]

@artizek >.>



[mariobros3648]

I remember having this on the 60th Anniversary Dumbo DVD. :)

[100bofish]

In 2:32 This butt looks like Mickey Mouse, also!

[flypunk90]

2:36 that's a subliminal message

[kilobas]

Where can I buy all this classics guys? please let me know.

Thanks..

[SpockLover27]

Interesting pairing, a tiger and an elephant... :)

[jasenrooks2001]

12 people got beat up by a tiger 

[tinynicktune]

Heh, very cute.

[Lightboiardo]

1:04 It looks like Popeye.

[Deen00sha]

@Lightboiardo and Tillie reminds me of Olive :)

[sofymo]

omg one of my favourites when i was young :)

[drugobianconero91]

I love this cartoon.

Greetings from Italy.

[Akabuena]

childhood stuff back in the dayz r the best... fuck em new shiit goin on on TVs...

[gold7c]

poor little elephant... Unfortunately, there are people like those other animals... uf!

[GodslilDreamer]

awwww the end is sooo sweet :3 i love elephants

[ferrisv20]

man those other nanimals were just haters

[ristancarl78]

the little bastards i would of k.o'd um with me trunk

[OurGangFan]

Cartoons like this show how bullying can be very mean. While shows like The Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy glamorizes bullying.

[brownklukz]

cute!! :)

[WWEChampion16]

LOL! Jimmy Durante Pelicans! 4:43

[hinata1212]

My question is how did the fire start in the first place?

[49jubilee]

I wonder if it gave Disney the idea for the movie Dumbo, since it came out in 1938 and Dumbo came out in 1940:

[sam8110]

Is this not the cutest cartoon ever?!?! I almost cried it was so cute and sad.

[masterclassicalmusic]

what is the musuc used in?

[Lionessfish]

Why wasn't anyone upset when the cake was ruined?

[babygiraffe123]

@Lionessfish

Maybe because it landed on Elmer, and, after all, he WAS the butt of their jokes. So when something like that happens to someone that everyone bullies, ya, they're def gonna find reason to laugh and snicker.

[formerfreak]

@Lionessfish because the cake is a lie ^^

[666DGIRL]

aww what a cute little tiger cub

[MyRevolutions]

Life's not about fitting in; it's about standing out and being yourself no matter what.

[kaitoukidkun]

Hippopatamus fails......

[CaitlynxKyle]

this one always made me cry..and being made fun of/bullied my whole life....it's kinda sad to watch this again....

[babygiraffe123]

@CaitlynxKyle

I hear ya. I was bullied ALL MY LIFE. It was complete torture and hell on earth. So I can relate. Always made me sad to see this cartoon too. Still does, remebering all I've been through. : (

[ClyneDDW]

@babygiraffe123 I was bullied until I slugged the #1 bully in the school. That ended the bullying.

[ClyneDDW]

As an addendum, years later this guy (his name was Pat Menotti) tried to rob the local B of A.  He was shot to pieces. Sometimes there is REAL justice.

[yoyoyofamily]

@CaitlynxKyle plz know that you're not the only one :)

[SomeFluffer64]

2:01 is that a brownish Mickey Mouse in the right of the crowd?

[moneemayumi]

@SomeFluffer64 No, it's a bear. But he does look like Mickey Mouse, doesn't he?

[DericNeoiscool]

This silly symphony tells us about never laugh & make fun of anyone who U see is different from us.

[Emlan90]

So mean :-(

[EasthamMa]

i remember this show?

[Mirdamor]

the hippo is black

[StacyLillyFernandez]

@Mirdamor the hippo is such an ass, i hate em!

[Lionessfish]

I would be upset if my birthday cake was ruined and I'd never let anyone else blow my candles out. The tiger didn't even say thank you for the flowers.

[tinynicktune]

@Lionessfish

No, but she kissed him in thanks.

[Staffanstorp]

sweet kising 7:54

[animefaver]

thats the stuff back than we had little fire pupets <3

[Spazaliciouschick]

Who else likes Joey the Hippo's singing voice?

[Talentz92]

if this was set in the present time elmer probably wouldve came back with an AK47 and blown their shits out.

[Jabberwoxx]

this makes me cry :'(

[CD122344]

Magnificent!

[tb45331]

To Isa30693. Were you ever a bully, Isa30693? How come you made an insensitive comment about Elmer Elephant? Also, would you like it if someone was a bully to you over some unusual physical attribute you have? In fact, do you think you would enjoy being physically mistreated over it? Wouldn't stuff like that make you cry, especially when you are just a little boy? Lastly, would you like somebody to make you feel self-conscious and insecure about your unusual physical attribute?

[LordBillGates]

one of fav cartoon ep's of all time!!!

[ShutUpJohnson]

That kicked ass!

[tigerqueen007]

6:05 Yay! Elmer to the rescue!!!

[PRINCESSMC13]

awwwwwww 7:54

[tb45331]

I hate how was doesn't go around come around to about the children who become bullies to Elmer Elephant because of his trunk. Tillie Tiger should have kick all of them out of her party because they made Elmer Elephant cry and he didn't do anything to any of them. I believe this especially because they make him not feel welcome to the party over his trunk. The worst offender was the tiger that looked devilish. He first says hi to Elmer in an intimidating way and he and the others tug on his trunk

[fcernig33]

what is the hippo's name

[darkandcrazy101]

@fcernig33 his name is joey

- Disney's #1 Fan °o°

[astridina17]

aawww they were so mean with him... jerks... i felt so bad i wanted to hug him...

[eobaby56]

7:43 to 7:58 is the most adorable thing!!!!

[ValisHD]

@eobaby56 And thus Wuzzles was Born ^_^

[LikeMaNiac]

Awh. Cute on it´s own way. But those othere were so mean to him.

[TulusKammer]

OMG this brought back so many memories!!!!

[johnnyv418]

Hopefully, this cartoon will be featured on the 70th Anniversary Blu-Ray/DVD of "Dumbo" like it was featured on the 2006 Big Top Edition DVD.

[raddada100]

@johnnyv418 and it is!!!

[suline06]

that's too sad!!!!!

[Heartshapedcakes]

It's okay Elmer, you'll be bigger then them one day!

[TulusKammer]

@Heartshapedcakes Amen to that

[travelsonic]

"Silly Symphony" - competing with Merry Melodies?

[hamlewism]

@travelsonic Merry Melodies was copying Silly Symphonies

[blondie24681]

this was the first time i saw this!!! absolutely adorableeee :D

[fredrikselvig]

Haven't seen this before! I watch it on my Dumbo Blu-Ray right now. Poor Elmer :( The others are just jealous of him. I'm glad he worked it out <3 They're so cute :)

[AMiiProduction]

Omg, thank you so much for posting this =D

I watched this when i was like 4 years old, i could remember it so clear but didn't know what is was called or something...

Now i found it =), brings back many good memories...

[bh5496]

@AMiiProduction if you were able to watch it at 4 , doesn't that mean that you must be 60 something?

[AMiiProduction]

@bh5496

I'm still a teenager, thank you very much x'D

I still had videotape-things when I was younger. The fact that I watched a old video doesn't make me old! Apparently I just  liked watching old videos =P

[bh5496]

@AMiiProduction LOL i just meant that i thought you like saw it live on the picture box in the 1940's XD

[Begobego095]

Poor Elmer :'(

[jordanjohansson]

My friends name is elmer :D

[disneyhannah111]

2:24 Mickey?

[disneyhannah111]

1:59 Another version of Mickey Mouse!

[fakiefool]

my name is elmer

[BeatlesFetish09]

what a bunch of jerks >:(

[brollyhero99]

I am such a cat and catgirl fanatic... Tillie is friggin cute!!!! <3 and poor Elmer... i really wanna show those douches a lesson! ;(

[HeathenMaiden]

This is such nostalgia for me! They showed this one on Disneytajm (Disney Time) back in '88 in Sweden and I've loved this particular cartoon ever since.

i really feel for kids nowadays who are fed such crap on TV. It started back in the '90s with the Cartoon Network generation.

[tigerqueen007]

2:20 to 3:34 Show how mean kids can be then and now.

[kryptonianpowers]

@tigerqueen007 I know. Kids at that age practically have NO respect for people they consider "freaks", where they are truly special. I suffered a lot of bullying as much as Elmer did, and some people still don't respect me for who or what I am because I practically grew up in a town where kids would jump for joy and laugh when someone had died.

[zgrillo2004]

@tigerqueen007 well we are starting to take a step further on anti bullying. NJ just enacted a strict anti bullying law. I dont live there but check your local laws

[tigerqueen007]

@zgrillo2004 Wonderful.

[VoidKeeper]

@tigerqueen007 they're jsut jealous cause Elmer got some =P

[TheMrsGugi]

quuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaak.

the monkey :DD

[Isa30693]

ooh he is crying xD

[Remco0o]

haaaahhaha awesome !!!

brilliant job disney :D

im 20 now and i still like disney storys.... the cartoons of these days..... they just suck and theres nothing in them......

let disney come back again !!!!

[sninias]

I am 37 now and still love cartoons ;)

of course not of these days .. and miss the real cartoons on TV..

[TheHyde55]

Who does the voice of the Hippo?

[lvanciel]

@TheHyde55 Bernice Hansen does the tiger

[vidchandru]

@TheHyde55 Reminds me of Popeye :)

[Treemeadow]

my brother does the voice of the Hippo sooo well.

[srbinudusi]

this is the real cartoon, today kids looking some terible shits on TV...this world is gone crazy...

[JediKnight313]

I know. These cartoons, and others up to the 90s, were those that ruled TV back in their day. The ones we see today, they just make no sense whatsoever.

[EnclosedSilence]

Kids can be so mean...

[chica476]

i just don't understand why the hippopotamus isn't the one who is socially excluded. I mean for God's sake, he's wearing a sailor suit!

[morphississ]

@chica476 Not to mention having an voice that would make a dead frog envious, and ruining the birthday cake with that said voice.

[jvijay77]

very cute! Tooooo gud! My kid jst loves this...

[deadkittens666]

seems like elementary all over again for me...

[purpletwist64]

kids these days find one small thing and they pick on it

[Bowmaj21]

Man, what a great cartoon! And this doesn't seem outdated, I think kids today could watch this no problem! But no, they're too busy with their Kim Possibles and High School Musicals to care about the good stuff that Disney once made!

Also, what the heck is Tilly saying to Elmer after she says "I'm so sorry" I just can't figure it out!
