Twinkles the Elephant not only was General Mills' newest cereal mascot in 1960, but he also appeared in short back-up segments during King Leonardo & His Short Subjects. George S. Irving, later the narrator of Underdog and a razor blade salesman, narrated, and the shorts, such as the following one, played out as if he was reading from a book, since the characters' mouths don't move all that much.
There are also some commercials for the cereal, and we'll take a dive into that another time.
Rating: B.
