Walt Disney - The Pelican And The Snipe - 1944

Narrated by Sterling Holloway, this memorable little short tells of two friends who live in Uruguay: Monte, a sleep-flying pelican, and Viddi, the sleep-deprived snipe who watches over him to prevent harm. Viddi's attempts to get some shuteye creates a rift between the pair and grave trouble for the angry Monte.

I like Sterling Holloway. He was in the movies Wild Boys of the Road, The Blue Bird, Meet John Doe, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, and he did a lot of voices.

Wasn't this story told during out of the box or between the lions during the story portion of the show?? I remember this from when I was like...8. Which was 14yrs ago.

Listening to his voice is so strange, one minute it's winnie the pooh, then the cheshire cat, then the stork from dumbo! LOVE IT!

@KBAFourthtime Why, yes, it was (actually, it was originally supposed to be in the Disney feature film "Three Caballeros" but Walt decided to release it as a separate theatrical short instead. The fact that it was released a year before the other film shows you how long Caballeros was in production).
