Tai the Elephant's 6 Greatest Moments from @NextMovie

Tai has been parading around the Hollywood circus for decades now, consistently turning in tusk-turning performances. Here are our favorite high-profile pachyderm's six greatest stunts.

6. 'THE JUNGLE BOOK' (1994)

When the animated Disney classic "The Jungle Book" was being adapted into a live-action film, the producers knew that only the most skilled and professional animal actors could serve their animated predecessors justice. While Tai wasn't given a major role, she still turned out a staggeringly frightful performance as she made those no-good treasure hunters run for their lives. That's what we thought, ya poachers.

5. 'VANITY FAIR' (2004)

"Water for Elephants" isn't the first time Tai has shared the screen with Reese Witherspoon (that's right, Luke Wilson, you're tied). This colorful spectacle starring Reese as social underdog Becky Sharp found Tai parading around in awesome displays of purple and red drapery amongst thousands of elegantly dressed extras. Tai was able to relish in the Indian culture's religious idolization of elephants, and you can tell in "Vanity Fair" that she's a holy beauty to behold. Fun Fact: R.Pattz also had a tiny role in "Fair," playing Reese's son, but his scene was cut.

4. 'GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE' (1997)
There were plenty of untamed animals in "George of the Jungle" looking for some cinematic spotlight. With wisecracking apes, wannabe lion kings and more, it was like the animal kingdom's answer to a Hollywood casting call. But alas Tai triumphs over all, as we see her majestically tread through the jungle valleys with George (Brendan Fraser) and Ursula (wait, Leslie Mann was in this movie?) riding on his back. Take a seat all you animal amateurs, this is Tai's time to shine.
