Pink elephants ev'rywhere" somehow translated to "They are perhaps, relatives of Satan" ("seran quizas, parientes de Satanás"). You think "Pink Elephants on Parade" is scary enough? The Spanish version is named "The Spirits of Terror" ("Las Ánimas del terror").The insanity dissipates as quickly as it came, but leaves even stronger impact than even the ending resolution. And being a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, it has no relevance to the plot and is never mentioned again (well, except for a brief mention by Timothy in the next scene when he is woken up by Dandy Crow, and Dandy mocks him for this), leading to a calmer scene where Dumbo wakes up in a tree, learns to fly and get back at the circus.The climax! The music for the ballet sequence has an eerie calm, but shifts gears abruptly to Latin jazz as the dancing couple suddenly turns into dozens of identical couples - and then the elephants decide to change into vehicles (with sound effects of whirring motors, ringing bells, and so forth) and the black scene flashes pink as they rush like mad, leading to an explosive conclusion leading to the second to last scene.But the lyrics, oh boy: "Chase 'em away! Chase 'em away! I'm afraid! Need your aid! Pink Elephants on Parade!" It's the only non-elephant appearing on screen in the entire segment other than a snake that changes into the belly dancer which dissolves into the eye.

Many kids have jumped away in fear when they saw that thing coming near. One of them is a Combining Mecha made of nothing but elephant heads who walks towards the viewer.

Especially since the background is pitch black, like the night.

All the elephants are varied in color (but are mostly pink), but all have no pupils (and sometimes no eyes at all, like eyeless masks), causing them to resemble ghosts.
