“Based off the Alvin tresselt tale”
Synopsis
Mocked throughout the jungles of India due to his small size, the smallest elephant in the world--no bigger than a house cat--has decided enough is enough. After all, if he's no bigger than a house cat, then a house must be where he belongs! After a long journey in the hold of a ship, this smallest elephant in the world finds himself a home with a nice little boy inside. But he must disguise himself as a cat to satisfy the boy's mother, and disaster strikes when he is confronted with his first mouse... Little does he know that the perfect home is waiting for him, in a circus where differences are celebrated, not scorned.
