In the video, Jawed is seen standing in front of the elephant cage. He looked impressed by the elephant’s trunk and he said “really, really, really long trunks and that’s cool”. Video was still recorded using the non-widescreen aspect ratio that was common at the time. As a result, there are black blanks on the right and left sides of the video or pillarboxing.
