Hello Pusface,
I believe you recall the cartoon Sydney the Elephant.
?The Elephant was both bumbling and, in the spirit of the times,
neurotic. The cartoons were mostly about his friends, Stanley the Lion
and Cleo the Giraffe, trying to keep him from knocking down the whole
jungle.?
?Over a dozen and a half Sidney cartoons were made, the last few
appearing only on TV as part of the 1963-64 Hector Heathcote show.?

?Sidney's Family Tree? featured a childish adult elephant who had to
be watched over constantly by his less-neurotic companions, Stanley
the Lion and Cleo the Giraffe.?
