Donald Duck cartoon question

[meganw1985]

Not sure if this thread will be in the right place, but couldn't find anywhere else it should go?
Ok so while on our last trip to Disney, my son watched the classic Disney cartoon channel over and over and over. His favorite one was the Donald Duck one with Chip & Dale and the elephant ("Working for Peanuts") I believe. He LOVED that cartoon! Now my question is, WHAT on earth is that elephant's name?! I cannot understand neither Donald or the 'Munks when they say it (and I'm pretty sure it is not "Jabobus" as my son has oh-so-affectionately named him :ROFLOL. And believe me, we watched it enough times on vacation and many a time on youtube since being back lol.

I believe it's Delores, and you can watch it on YouTube here:

I googled "elephant in working for peanuts" and found out her name is Dolores. I think Jabobus is cuter though.

Jabobus is way cuter (especially when my son mumbles the tune to the song Donald sings her and ends it with a very emphasized "JABOBUS!") since that it the only word he thinks he understands in the whole song! :lol: I think I won't tell him the real name, but I had to know.

As a matter of fact he just came in and said "mommy can we watch Jabobus?!" :lol:

No, "Jabobus" is just another instance of Donald's voice being less than audible. It really is Dolores, who had previously appeared in a Goofy cartoon called "The Big Wash" (from 1948).

There's another one where Goofy is trying to give her a bath and he sings "I'mma gonna warsh Da-lor-e-us, she's agonna look ga-lorious." It's one of my favorites =)
