Synopsis
This episode of
Walt Disney Presents
pays homage to the illustations of artist Heinrich Kley, who specialized in pictures of elephants. Host
Walt Disney
explains that it was Kley's genius that inspired such animated sequences as the "Dance of the Hours" segment (with its ballet-dancing pachyderms) in the 1940 animated feature
Fantasia
and the "Pink Elephants on Parade" number in 1941's
Dumbo
. The remainder of the episode consists of Niok, a "People and Places" short subject originally released theatrically in 1957. Filmed in the jungles of Cambodia, this segment details the relationship between Chinese village boy Ayot Van Koen and his beloved pet, a 6-month-old Indian elephant named Niok. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
