Seeing Pink Elephants


In the tradition of inebriated elephants, Dumbo's champagne trip in the 1941 Disney classic pioneered psychedelic highs for intoxicated pachyderms everywhere. The "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence shows this favorite circus animal in the shape of yellow and green worms, a camel, and a belly dancer with a rotund gut. The pop culture website retrocrush.com rates "Pink Elephants" at #90 on a list of "The 100 Scariest Movie Scenes."
