CUT! Okay, let me see the director RIGHT NOW!
Lamar! I gave you $160 million to make an enchanting live action children’s movie based on that enduring song, “The Animal Fair.” Then I come down here two months into the shoot, and I find this crap?
Relax Boss. It’s all in the song.
Look here at the lyrics, the last line: “The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees, and what became of the monk?” See?
Lamar, the song is talking about a MONKEY, not a Buddhist monk!
A real monkey?
Yes.
Jeez Boss, I wish we’d known that when there was still time to save that poor stunt guy in the orange outfit.

That monk has pretty massive arms there! If Buddhist monks are all about peace and inner spitirtuality (I think right?) then what’s the need for the guns there?
Wow, the elephant kind of looks deranged, or possibly like it’s being strangled by those chains. It can’t be fun to be an elephant
ITS NOT PLAYING! ITS ASKING TO TAKE THOSE CHAINS OFF!
Dang, I hate it when people misinterpret pics…
That eye says zombie elephant to me.
Shra, isn’t misinterpreting pics pretty much what we do all day long here?
PilotGuy, please don’t let the cat out of the bag just yet…
Oh damn, sorry M…mums the word!
Unca, apparently you get AWESOME crackling from roast elephant…
