Featured review
Bizarre, Almost Surreal Laurel and Hardy Silent Short.
"Flying Elephants" (1928), a Laurel and Hardy short made in the last years of the silents is also one of the comedy's duo most bizarre film. The title itself is logic deifying, as the movie itself.
The story is weak: in the stone age, the king declares that all males must marry within twenty-four hours. Around this slender plot, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy do their best they can but, as they spend most of the picture apart (which is strange, as their first "official" movie together, "Putting Pants on Philip", had been made two years earlier), the result is never really satisfying and the high pint of the picture is when there is a shot of animated elephants with wings on flying into the distance, hence the title. The elephants were animated by Walter Lantz and is possible the most surrealist aspect in all of Laurel and Hardy's movies.
It's not a great short by "the boys" but there are several good gags that will reward Laurel and Hardy film buffs.
