Pink Elephants (1937)

A pretty fun animated short produced by Paul Terry (once known as the “Dean of American Animation”), in which a goat and an old man (Al Falfa) are terrorized by cute elephants who can fly and teleport. The cartoon is black and white, but presumably, the elephants are pink. Who dreamed up this stuff?

The extrapolated implication — or conversely, the interpolated explication — is that it’s a dream induced by the man’s delirium tremens, although why the poor goat?

You can see this cartoon for the first time in 50 years here, at the wonderful ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive.

When Al Falfa was terrorized was it reported on Al Jareeza?
