Elephants Never Forget | comment |
Elephants have a reputation in fiction for possessing excellent memories. This is, to a degree, Truth in Television — elephants are very intelligent animals with long lives and good long-term memory, archetypally represented in the old matriarch who knows where to find water and food for her family during the lean times, even if she only visited that location once in her youth. This is also a matter of concern for zookeepers, as elephants will very much remember an individual human who mistreated them and are very likely to get back at them, sometimes fatally, potentially quite a long way down the road. In fiction, this tends to get exaggerated into elephants having picture-perfect eidetic memory, recalling with perfect clarity trivial events that happened many years or decades earlier. An elephant character, for instance, may quickly read their way through a textbook and thereafter recollect the correct answer to every question therein. This is occasionally extended to elephants being intellectual, and even analytical, creatures (also not far from reality, as elephants are some of the smartest animals on the planet—probably the smartest land animals who aren't primatesnote Some birds—corvids and parrots, specifically—might be on that level but it's obviously pretty hard to tell. If we expand to the sea, cetaceans are probably smarter than elephants but that's not saying much.). Such as the case of Ganesha of Hindu Mythology, an elephant-headed deity of wisdom and knowledge. A relatively common subversion is to have elephants who are instead highly forgetful or who simply don't pay much attention to what's going around them, sometimes surprising characters who expected them to be reliable sources of information. Subtrope of Photographic Memory and Animal Stereotypes. For other elephant stereotypes, see Cruel Elephant and Honorable Elephant. |

The Penguins of Madagascar: One episode features Burt, the zoo's elephant, enlisting the help of the penguins to help him escape from the zoo, so he can pay back a man who had tormented him with a kazoo as a boy. He persuades them by lampshading this trope. — "Let's just say... an elephant never forgets!" Said payback turns out to be returning the kazoo Burt stole from the kid, because as Burt points out, while an elephant never forgets, "he always forgives." | |

Viva Piñata: Subverted with Ella Elephanilla, who forgets things all the time. However, there are some episodes where this is flipped back to being played straight. In "The Wraisins of Wrath", the raisins in Fergy and Paulie's pie causes her to be opposite of her normal self and able to remember things. She also remembers something apparently unflattering that Pecky wrote about her over a year ago, but he doesn't. In "Ella Forgets to Forget", Fergy starts a service where Piñatas can confide their secrets in Ella, since she'll forget them anyway. But when Fergy tells her to remember to forget, she ends up forgetting to forget (hence the title). This somehow makes her remember all the secrets told to her. |

After the storm clears, O'Malley asks the other animals if they've seen the kittens, one of them being an elephant couple. The husband says "Three kittens? I can't remember!

Disney Animated Canon: The Jungle Book (1967): Played with. While Colonel Hathi, the leader of the elephants, is leading his herd away from Bagheera and Mowgli, his wife, Winifred, asks him if he's forgetting something. Hathi assures her that as an elephant, he never forgets anything, but she points out to him that he forgot their son, Junior, who had stayed behind to talk with Mowgli. Hathi then leads the elephants back to get Junior and scold him for not following the rest of the herd. Unfortunately, the rest of the herd ends up crashing into Hathi, because, as Junior points out, he forgot to say "Halt!". Mowgli finds this hilarious; Bagheera, not so. The Lion King (1994): In "The Morning Report", as Zazu is referencing a bunch of animal puns and stereotypes, he also touches on the elephants' excellent memory. Zootopia: Invoked and subverted. Nangi the elephant is supposed to have an excellent memory due to being an elephant. However, she cannot remember a single detail about Emmitt Otterton despite him coming to her yoga class for six years. Indeed, Yax, the yak who is asking her about Emmitt, is shown to have a better memory than her, as he lists off various details for the protagonists instead of her. |

Calvin and Hobbes: In a story included in the beginning of The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin turns himself into an elephant with the transmogrifier to make learning his English homework easier, reasoning that, since elephants never forget, he can just look through it once and remember it perfectly afterward. Sure enough, it works, as Calvin's new memory is just as strong as he expected... until he has to turn back, at which point his memory is no better than usual, and he forgets most of what he memorized, forcing him to go through it again once his dad quizzes him and finds him unprepared. | |

Color Classics: In "An Elephant Never Forgets", the elephant student cheerfully reminds the other animals of this trope every time they forget the answer to the teacher's questions, but is shamed when he can't recall what 2+2 equals. At the end, however, when a monkey who had been hitting him on the head with a washboard earlier goes to mock him, the elephant turns out to have stuffed the board down the monkey's overalls and hits him over the head instead, cheerfully repeating that an elephant never forgets as the episode ends. This cartoon (and its title song) from 1935 may have helped codify the trope, or at least helped name it. | |

The Palaververse: Elephants (and mammoths) develop perfect memory in adolescence — once adult elephants experience something, they can recall in perfect detail for the rest of their lives. Their culture is as a consequence highly focused on hoarding memorized lore and keeping one's knowledge away from others. This perfect memory is not always advantageous, since it preserves terrible experiences just as sharply and unfailingly as pleasant ones, and elephants in stressful professions tend to experience psychological issues as they age — and there's something terrible lurking in Pachydermia's far south, which some elephants have to burden themselves with knowing about in full and awful detail to keep contained, often courting madness as a result. | |

Off the Mark While this strip doesn't feature any actual elephants, the trope is referenced by an "ultimate memory" plug-in shaped like a trunk. Done with actual elephants here, where an elephant offers another a boquet of forget-me-nots and the other wonders why the first though that that was ever an option; here, where an elephant shamefully buys a memory enhancer at a drugstore; and here, where an elephant scornfully thinks "rookie" at a computer's memory becoming full. |

The New Yorker: A two-page comic by Rea Irvin in 1926 titled "An Elephant Never Forgets" depicts a circus elephant who is fed soap by a little boy, and later recognizes him as an old man and chases him down for revenge. A 1948 cartoon by Whitney Darrow, Jr. of one circus elephant talking to another: "There's a character in this town I'd like to catch up with — a snub-nosed, freckle-faced, barefooted little upstart in blue denims, goddamn handy with a slingshot. I guess he'd be about sixty now." A 1976 cartoon by J. B. Handelsman of elephants in a field, each with a thought bubble, reading "The Alamo", "The Maine", "Pearl Harbor", and "April". |

In The Book of Pooh episode "Brain Drain", the gang believes Eeyore may have a "brain drain" after he forgets something important he wanted to say. One of their attempts to stop Eeyore from forgetting is to try making him into an elephant by putting a fake elephant trunk and ears on his head and feeding him peanuts, in the hopes that he'll start remembering again. It doesn't work, and all Eeyore remembers is that he doesn't like peanuts. | |

Stanley: In "Remembering With Elephants", Stanley has a tough time remembering where his other sneaker is so that once he finds it, he can go to the supermarket with his mother. He says that he wishes he were an elephant because elephants never forget, so he and Dennis go into the Great Big Book of Everything to find out if the saying is true. He soon learns that the reason behind this saying is because elephants always retrace their steps to the watering holes they visit. This helps Stanley retrace his steps to where he last left his other sneaker. | |

Cattivik: Parodied in the story "The Cruise", where Cattivik ends up releasing several wild animals from the ship's hold and they proceed to wreak havoc on the ship. We see a guest telling his female friend how he once wounded an elephant during a hunting trip in Africa but couldn't finish him off, and gave up hunting, fearing the elephant's revenge and quoting their prodigious memory. As soon as the woman mocks this rumor as superstition, the escaped elephant runs by, trampling the man. | |
