That is the Eames Office where they all end up, correct? It's been a while since I've made it out to Santa Monica, so I'm not sure.
The elephant is the glaring omission from my Eames collection at the moment, I'm just waiting until I have a child to have an excuse to buy it. Not that I really need the excuse, but it's slightly easier to justify as nursery decor, although I really want to put it next to my fireplace to chill in the living room.

This is so cool, especially since I literally just saw one of them at the IMA 30 minutes ago!

This was absolutely delightful! Thanks for posting it. Cheers to Charles, Ray, and to you as well!

I was sitting in the car with my grandma waiting for my grandpa to get back from out of Wal Mart and I was listening to Eames Demetrios get interviewed and I heard about this. Amazing! :D

Where is the credit due Don Albinson?

Dear Rocketsharc,
Don did not work on the film so I did not give him a credit.
If you mean some sort of credit on the elephant, the elephant was designed by the Eameses in 1945. Incidentally, though Don was a student at Cranbrook in 1941, Don did not start at the Eames Office in Los Angeles until 1946 (or possibly late december 1945, but the Eames Design book says 1946).
Thanks for your comment.

Is it any coincidence that these elephants have such an affinity for high-end design? Specifically, the furniture of Charles and Ray Eames? I think not.

The molded plywood elephant sub-species has always been known for its excellent taste
