Wait I think I saw this in a movie once it had to do with an animated elephant with big ears that was constantly picking things up with its trunk then flying off with them, no that's not right it was a bad guy in one of the Jack Sparrow movies where the octopus grabbed things or maybe it was a sinbad movie. Nope I got it it was Men in black and the creature picked up a marble that looked like the earth and rolled it across teh floor.Quote:
