Which Jungle Cruise elephant was inspired by Walt Disney?

In this episode of Distory, we head into the waters of the sacred elephant bathing pool. Along the way, we find an elephant that started as another animal, hear Blaine Gibson's unfiltered thoughts about the first generation of sculpted elephants, and learn about how some of the elephants were going to have more animation (and why they never did). Kirk also shares with us about Dick Nunis's obsession with short pants, and we share a story of someone who certainly got Walt's attention, but not the way that he'd planned.

Join us LIVE on TikTok every Friday at 5:30pm Pacific/8:30pm Eastern for more Distory!
