Recently
I received this email from a gentlemen looking for the title of a Pinwheel
Cartoon. Here is his original email as well as a video his brother found of this
animated short. What he’s looking for is the name of this particular cartoon so
I’m posting his email here along with the video in hopes that someone can help
him out.

Peggy,
I stumbled upon your blog which is where I got your email. I saw your interest
in classic Nickelodeon. On the show pinwheel was a short cartoon featuring an
elephant that was a painting artist. There was a black ink/paint spot that came
to life and would cause all sorts of mischief. I have not been able to find a
name for this cartoon or and video. Would you have a recollection of this
cartoon short or am I just going to have to give up my search?

Peggy!
Thank you for getting back to me. I was talking to my brother about this
because he remembers the cartoon short as well. He found this on YouTube
92
minutes in is the elephant painting a tuba and the ink splotch being all
mischievous. Still have no idea what the cartoon was called but would love to
find out more about it. I wonder if there is an archive of this particular
cartoon. If only I knew what it was called?
Oooh, I wish I could help you here, it's certainly looks very European at least. The problem many of us have had is in how Pinwheel never disclose any information pertaining to titles or who produced the pieces shown on there.
ReplyDeleteI do recall another episode of sorts featuring the same elephant character that had him going to a beach or swimming pool and lost his swim trunks in the water, whilst being completely embarrassed about being 'naked' in that typical cartoony way!
