"Hobo Bobo" is a 1947 ''WesternAnimation/MerrieMelodies'' cartoon directed by Creator/RobertMcKimson.
Narrated by Robert C. Bruce, the cartoon starts in India, where Bobo, a young elephant, detests his lot in life of being forced to carry logs and desires a better future. When he receives a letter from his uncle in America who is with the circus and part of a baseball team, Bobo sees an opportunity and sets out to emigrate to the circus. Unfortunately, despite numerous tries, he finds himself unable to board the America-bound ship, until a small yet wise Mynah bird advises him to paint himself pink. Despite his skepticism over the suggestion, Bobo is elated that it works, as no one on the boat wants to admit they saw a pink elephant. However, upon reaching America, Bobo finds that his color prevents everyone he meets from giving him any attention...at least until a passing street cleaner washes it off.
