Hobo Bobo (1947)

Plot

Little Bobo, the elephant, grows tired of his dull life in the jungle, where he spends his days hauling logs. Dreaming of excitement, he sets his sights on a circus in America. Following the advice of a clever minah bird, Bobo paints himself pink to sneak aboard a ship, as no one can believe their eyes when they see a pink elephant. Upon arrival, a street-cleaner washes away his color, revealing Bobo to the world. Arrested for his unusual appearance, he is sentenced to a life in the circus as a bat "boy," ironically back to hauling logs again.
