 Goliath II
comment
Goliath II is an 1960 animated short from Disney, the result of an idea by Bill Peet. It tells the story of a very small and curious elephant child trying to survive the jungle and get the approval of his pompous father. That is not easy for someone as tiny as his father's toenail.The short is notable for using a gratuitous amount of recycled animation, and is the first Disney film to make extensive use of the xerography process of transferring animation drawings to cels, which would later be put to use in Disney's feature 101 Dalmatians. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, losing to Gene Deitch's Munro.

 Goliath II / int_1779f10e
comment
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Goliath I disapproves of his son for being so tiny, and also for his tendency to wander off. It’s only after Goliath II saves the herd from the mouse that he wins his father’s (and the entire herd’s) approval.

Balloon Belly: After the crocodile swallows Raja whole, he’s seen happily massaging a huge stomach. That is, until Raja sneaks out of his mouth while he’s not looking, and the crocodile disappointedly notices his now empty belly.

Reused Character Design
 Goliath II / int_277686f2
comment
Reused Character Design: Most obviously, the crocodile is based on Tick Tock from Peter Pan. Raja the tiger reuses the design of the tiger from the Goofy short Tiger Trouble (who, in turn, is designed after Louie the Mountain Lion, a recurring antagonist of Donald Duck), and the female elephants are designed after the those in Dumbo.

 Goliath II / int_33a5b3fb
comment
Shamed by a Mob: Goliath II gets spanked by his mother for leaving the herd and gets disapproving glares from everyone, even by his parents. To the elephants, a deserter from the herd is branded a "scoundrel, a rogue elephant, a traitor to that high and imperial order of pompous pachyderms", and to make it worse, he had let his great father down.

Elephants Are Scared of Mice: Elephants all have a phobia of mice, which the mouse takes advantage of to scare their herd senseless for his own amusement. The only elephant who isn't scared of him is the miniature baby elephant Goliath II, despite only being the same size as the mouse.

Recycled Animation
 Goliath II / int_b0b8970e
comment
Recycled Animation: A lot of animation is recycled from earlier Disney films; most notably, the crocodile is from Peter Pan and Raja the tiger is from the Goofy short Tiger Trouble. Background animals are borrowed from Bambi (Bambi's mom and Friend Owl), Sleeping Beauty, and Alice in Wonderland (the hornbill trying to save her eggs from falling out of the nest, based on the mother bird who mistakes Alice for a snake). Also, lot of the elephant animation would be reused in The Jungle Book in 1967. Much of the elephant footage, as well as some of the mouse's animation, is reused from Dumbo and a chunk of Goliath alone in the jungle at night was originally Ichabod from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (the owl is especially recognizable).

Honorable Elephant: Goliath I, Goliath II's father is the proud and pompous leader of the herd, while Goliath II's mother is a protective Mama Bear who'd do anything to defend her child. Goliath II wants to be honorable too, but he's ridiculously small. He gets the herd's and his father's respect after defeating the mouse.

Too Dumb to Live: Despite having just been saved by his mother from being eaten by Raja, after his mother scolds him for wandering off, Goliath II decides the best course of action is to leave and never come back. Naturally, he quickly gets scared being on his own and nearly gets eaten by Raja again.
