It was nominated for the UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestAnimatedShortFilm, losing to Gene Deitch's ''Munro''.

Added DiffLines:

* GettingEatenIsHarmless: Raja spends some time in the crocodile’s belly, but when the crocodile falls asleep, he quickly climbs out completely unharmed.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainousGlutton: Raja is already at the top of the jungle’s food chain barring the crocodile, but he loves to eat so much that he wants to up his game to eating elephants. Goliath II is his only chance at it though due to being so small. The crocodile is also always ready for a meal.

Added Collective Death Glare

Added DiffLines:

* CollectiveDeathGlare: After Goliath is rescued after attempting to run away, he is met with hateful glares from the rest of his herd for what was tantamount to treason in their culture.
-->'''Narrator:''' You see, according to the elephant law, deserting the herd is a major offense. And the deserter is branded a ''scoundrel'', a ''rogue'' elephant, a ''traitor'' to that high and imperial order of pompous pachyderms.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Goliath I disapproves of his son for being so tiny, and also for his tendency to wander off.

to:

* WellDoneSonGuy: Goliath I disapproves of his son for being so tiny, and also for his tendency to wander off. It’s only after Goliath II saves the herd from the mouse that he wins his father’s (and the entire herd’s) approval.

* TheRuntAtTheEnd: Exaggerated with Goliath II; while he does bring up the end of the column of marching elephants, he is the size of a mouse.

Added DiffLines:

* BalloonBelly: After the crocodile swallows Raja whole, he’s seen happily massaging a huge stomach. That is, until Raja sneaks out of his mouth while he’s not looking, and the crocodile disappointedly notices his now empty belly.


Added DiffLines:

* JustDesserts: Narrowly averted for the antagonists. Raja is swallowed and eaten by the crocodile, but manages to climb out of him. The mouse is also threatened with being fed to the crocodile by Goliath II.


Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: Despite having just been saved by his mother from being eaten by Raja, after his mother scolds him for wandering off, Goliath II decides the best course of action is to leave and never come back. Naturally, he quickly gets scared being on his own and nearly gets eaten by Raja again.

* RecycledAnimation: A lot of animation is recycled from earlier Disney films; most notably, the crocodile is from ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' and Raja the tiger is from the WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} short ''Tiger Trouble''. Background animals are borrowed from ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'', ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' and ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''. Also, lot of the elephant animation would be reused in ''[[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 The Jungle Book]]'' in 1967.
** Much of the elephant footage, as well as some of the mouse's animation, is reused from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}'' and a chunk of Goliath alone in the jungle at night was originally Ichabod from ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad''.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Most obviously, the crocodile is based on Tick Tock from ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan''. Raja the tiger reuses the design of the tiger from the WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} short ''Tiger Trouble'' (who, in turn, is designed after Louie the Mountain Lion, a recurring antagonist of ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck''), and the female elephants are designed after the those in ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}''.

* EekAMouse: ElephantsAreScaredOfMice: Elephants all have a phobia of mice, except which the mouse takes advantage of to scare their herd senseless for his own amusement. The only elephant who isn't scared of him is the miniature baby elephant Goliath II.II, despite only being the same size as the mouse.
