What Is Gone Batty About?
The premise of Gone Batty without spoilers.
Bobo the Elephant, the mascot of the under‑dog Sweetwater Shnooks, watches his team—small and timid—get knocked unconscious by the hulking, brutal Greenville Goons. Refusing to surrender, the Shnooks’ manager slots Bobo into every position on the field. To everyone’s surprise, the elephant proves surprisingly adept, turning the desperate gamble into a surprisingly competitive effort.
