Based on the nursery rhyme of TheFifties, Nellie is a pink elephant who leaves the circus to the island of Mandalay with the other elephants, but yes, there is an antagonist, and it's the Ringmaster, who, in most episodes, tries to get her back to the circus! Nellie goes to all sorts of places before she leaves, such as [[BeachEpisode beaches]] and {{Ski Resort}}s, and she apparently loves it, but it might not always go to plan.
