Just watched this cartoon on ThadBlog. This Thad is an admirer of animator Jim Tyler and he considers this one of Tyler's best stint at Terrytoons when Gene Deitch took over creative control at the studio. The title character is a neurotic elephant who hates living in the jungle because of all the noise. Then when he finds some trappers coming, he doesn't want to be taken to the zoo...until he finds out they don't want him and they take his other friends (among them, a lion and a giraffe) instead. Well, at least Sidney gets his peace and quiet only it's TOO quiet...While it's interesting seeing the elephant trying to change shape in order to look like a gazelle or a snake to avoid being taken by those trappers and then do a 180 when he finds out how uninterested they are in him, I didn't really find this short funny at all and the lead character was just irritating. And I guess the animation was too limited for my tastes. So on that note, I really can't recommend Sick, Sick, Sidney.
