I was going to recommend the movie this is from, "Animals are Beautiful People"! It's an older Disney produced documentary from the 70s I think. They put a comedic twist on the narraration and add plenty of cartoon sound affects throughout the film

I do not recommend it. Firstly, it's not a Disney movie. It was made by a white South African in South Africa during apartheid.

A lot of it is just made up and some of it is clearly animal abuse. There's no question that a weaver bird nest was set on fire for the movie.

The elephant thing isn't even true. It's staged with creative editing.
