Description:

About a kind elephant, who with his big ears heard the little creatures living on pink fluff and protected them from all sorts of adversity.

Based on the Dr. Seuss story about Horton the Elephant, who struggles to protect a microscopic community from his neighbors who refuse to believe it exists.

From what I've seen, Kyїvnaukfilm has many films about elephants, an animal that can only live in tropical regions. Their lifespan is usually 50 years, but in colder climates, it's only 10 years. In Vietnamese, elephants are called "voi", and you know what? It means "penis". Perhaps you know which part it refers to? That seemingly ugly name originates from a famous folk tale: The Six Blind Fortune Tellers and An Elephant. It tells the story of six fortune tellers who went to the market to see an elephant being offered for sale. However, because they were blind, each could only see by touching a different part: Ears, trunk, tusks, legs, tail, and back. Each believed they were right, and as a result, no two were alike, leading to a fight. From then on, "Fortune Tellers Looking at An Elephant" became an idiom referring to biased thinking.

Do they? What are some other ones?

>However, because they were blind, each could only see by touching a different part
I think that story is relatively well-known in Europe and the West, as well. But few are those who take its lesson to heart and internalize it enough to manage to avoid needless conflict with others. Yulian Kalisher adapted it (in a rather joking manner, along with some other Eastern wisdom) in his film The Obedient Pupil (1991).
