Elefun

Elefun is a 1993 children's game from Hasbro. Players use a net to catch butterflies from a plastic elephant's 1-metre-long (3.3 ft) trunk, a plastic chute through which the paper butterflies travel, propelled up by a motor in the elephant. The game was republished twice between 2003 and 2009, starting with the marketing under its "Elefun and Friends" name. This consists of Hungry Hungry Hippos, Mouse Trap, Chasing Cheeky, and Gator Golf. A 2008 direct-to-video short film adaptation was released exclusively as Elefun and Friends: A Tangled Tale. The film was directed by Darrell Van Citters in production of Renegade Animation with songs composed by Jared Faber. In 2010, it made an appearance as the daily prize in the season 5 episode 14 episode of Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman. Playskool, a subsidiary of Hasbro, created the spin-offs as the "Elefun Busy Ball Popper" in 2011. A golden butterfly was added to the game in 2012. There is also a female version called Belefun. In August 2025, Goliath Games announced it had acquired worldwide manufacturing and distribution rights to the game from Hasbro. The company will relaunch the game with a new look in Fall 2026.
