Punch Trunk is a 1953 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon written by Mike Maltese and directed by Chuck Jones.[2] The short was released on December 19, 1953.[3]

Plot

A five-inch dwarf elephant stows away on a banana shipment and wreaks havoc in the city. Mistaken for hallucinations, sightings of the tiny elephant lead to chaos: from mental hospitals to terrified citizens. As panic spreads, even a scientist dismisses its existence, until the elephant itself appears and leaves everyone stunned.

Legacy

The tiny elephant makes a cameo in 1959's Unnatural History.

The cartoon was edited into Daffy Duck's Quackbusters. Here, it begins from the bird bath scene and leaves out the scenes concerning the high-rise apartment, the circus, the cat, and the flagpole. The film's version of the bird bath scene has the bird bath owner phoning up Daffy to report the elephant, which leads Daffy to send the orderlies to pick the bird bath owner up having deemed him "definitely non compos mentis"; the elephant's height here is also stated to be "5-and-a-quarter inches tall". The newspaper headlines had been swapped around so that they are shown in this order; "Mass Hallucination Grips City", "Picayune Pachyderm Panics Populace", "Hundreds Claim To Have Seen Tiny Elephant" and "I Seen It". The last headline had been changed from "Noted Scientist to Take to Air to Calm Alarmed Citizenry" to "Sightings of Tiny Elephant Continue" to tie in with the story; Daffy, having read of the mass panic from the last headline, made a backfired attempt to disprove the tiny elephant's existence that resulted in him being "publicly disgraced on a coast-to-coast hookup!" when during his interview on Frightline with Zed Toppel, the elephant walked by Daffy (Daffy halfway noticing the elephant before it roared at him).[citation needed]

Home media

This short is a bonus feature on disc 4 of Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6. It was later released on the Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volume 3 Blu-Ray disc in 2024.
