Prismark10 This Mickey Mouse Silly Symphonies short from 1936 is very much inspired by their Warner Bothers rivals.Mickey receives Bobo, a baby Indian elephant a gift from an Indian Rajah. Whilst Mickey builds a house for his elephant Pluto does not seem to be thrilled.In fact we see a Devil Pluto who splits from him and playing on his fears and negativity and encourages him to be mischievous.The shenanigans from Pluto leads to Bobo having a sniffing fit and ultimately blowing everything round him and Pluto realises that his devilish side might not always be acting for Pluto's own interest.
TheLittleSongbird You have probably guessed I love the Disney Silly Symphonies, they are just so cute, funny and endearing. While "Mickey's Elephant" doesn't rank as a favourite of mine like "Ugly Duckling", "The Old Mill", "Flowers and Trees", "Skeleton Dance" and "Wynken, Blynken and Nod"(and of course "Steamboat Willie" is timeless), it is very cute and amusing. While it is isn't particularly laugh-out-loud funny, and the pace is a bit too fast, it is very enjoyable, thanks chiefly to the lovely animation and the outstanding music. There is a nice story, and the characters are endearing, especially the baby elephant Bobo who is so cute I think. The voice acting is excellent, Walt Disney does a good enough job as Mickey, and there is a very good lesson learnt at the end. Speaking of the ending as someone on YouTube said quite rightly, I love how nobody wins-Bobo keeps sneezing, Mickey's hard work is ruined and Pluto is angry because his house gets blown away. Overall, a very nice watch. 8/10 Bethany Cox
Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) I love this short and it is one of my favorite Mickey Mouse shorts from 1936. I am quite terribly particular about that (a favorite cartoon short from which year). Anyway, in this short, Mickey receives Bobo a baby elephant from India as a gift from the Rajah of Gahbooh. Of course, Pluto's first introduction was with Bobo's trunk, through a fence while Bobo was playing with a ball, and the ball going under the fence. Pluto was not thrilled and marches away. But the playful Bobo grabs Pluto's tail and follows. Of course, Pluto didn't like it at all, especially when he begins to suspect that he's being replaced thanks to his bad side - a devil version of himself.I love how little Bobo is designed, he's so cute. And you know, this cartoon has a lesson in it and it is: NEVER listen to the devil in you!
Shawn Watson The King of Siam (or something) sends Mickey little Bobo, a baby elephant, for a new pet (he could have phoned ahead) and a pal for Pluto. So Mickey get down to hard work building an Elephant kennel.Pluto's lil' Devil on his shoulder (er...where did the angel go?) tells him that the elephant is his replacement and to plot against him. Obviously Pluto cannot reads the innocence and friendliness in Bobo's eyes and relentlessly tries to run Bobo off. He just won't give in to his devil's side. Would this be allowed in the disgustingly PC world of Disney today. NO!A mildly amusing cartoon.
