Editing Heffalump (section)

=== Disney version ===
In Disney's adaptations of the stories, Heffalumps are first mentioned in the 1968 featurette ''[[Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]] and later [[The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'', and seem to be a product of [[Tigger]]'s imagination. They appeared with their partners, the [[woozle]]s, in a song called "[[Heffalumps and Woozles]]" during a nightmare that [[Winnie the Pooh (Disney character)|Pooh]] has. Here, Tigger described them as honey-eating creatures. In both the animated films and all subsequent television series, they are also depicted as looking like elephants, albeit slightly cuddlier and less fierce than those Pooh imagines in the books, with rabbit-like tails and stitches as would be found on a [[stuffed animal]].

In the animated television series ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'', most heffalumps are enemies of Pooh and his friends. They are known to steal honey and are often associated with [[woozle]]s. One particular heffalump named Heff was the dim-witted sidekick of Stan the Woozle and was afraid of [[Roo]] because he thought Roo was a giant mouse.

[[Piglet (Winnie the Pooh)|Piglet]] befriended a young heffalump named [[List of Winnie-the-Pooh characters#Papa, Mama, and Junior Heffalump|Junior]] in two episodes of ''The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh''. Junior lived with his parents, Papa Heffalump (voiced by [[Jim Cummings]]) and Mama Heffalump. Mama Heffalump often had to remind Papa Heffalump of his many allergies.

''[[Pooh's Heffalump Movie]]'', released in 2005, looks at the differences between the denizens of the Hundred Acre Wood, and the Heffalumps, cleared up after Roo becomes friends with a Heffalump named [[Lumpy the Heffalump|Lumpy]]. A sequel to this movie called ''[[Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie]]'', was later released. Lumpy later appears in the television program ''[[My Friends Tigger & Pooh]]'', where he continues to appear as Roo's friend and joins the gang on many adventures.

They and the song are also featured in the attraction at the [[Magic Kingdom]] in [[Walt Disney World]], [[Disneyland]], [[Hong Kong Disneyland]] and [[Shanghai Disneyland]], also called ''[[The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (attraction)|The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'', where the riders travel through the heffalumps and woozles in Pooh's dream.

There are several Winnie the Pooh video games where the Heffalumps are an antagonist to the storyline of various levels in ''[[Piglet's Big Game]]'' and ''[[Winnie the Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure|Winnie the Pooh’s Rumbly Tumbly Adventure]]''. Each video game was developed on various platforms such as the Nintendo Gameboy Advance, Nintendo Gamecube, PC, and Sony Playstation 2.

In a fantasy sequence in the 2018 film ''[[Christopher Robin (film)|Christopher Robin]]'', when the title character almost drowns in a Heffalump trap, he hallucinates seeing an actual elephant as a Heffalump.
