That’s Not All, Folks:
The cartoon is no longer shown on television due to a few scenes with African stereotypes.
What I Like About This One:
An octopus pounding multiple stakes into the ground at once.
The “musical elephants” scene.
Lions jumping through rings- that come from cigar smoke.
The aerobic act that ends with the participant falling off but leaving his dentures on the hook.
One guy in the seats eating another guy’s ice cream cone, but also accidentally bites the guy’s thumb.
Acrobats on a tightrope being knocked over one by one when the baby gets involved with the trapeze swingers.
