Eerie 80's Cartoon Movie w/ Toy Pink Elephant?

O.K., maybe it was just eerie to me, but if you've seen it I'd like to hear your argument for why it's NOT eerie:

All I can remember is a bunch of toys have a problem. One toy in particular, I'm thinking it's one of the main characters, is a Pink Elephant. One scene they are at the bottom of some lake and there is an old can of dog food. At the end there is a scene with strange bird house full of rats who are partying and they get overthrown by a train or something. There is a raven that is flying around and calling out annoying phrases. There is one man at the end... I'm thinking the only human in the show, but he is the owner of the toy store or something, and the conflict resolves and some strange early 80's mellow song starts playing. Sorry so vague, but whoever nails this is my hero!
Thanks!

Perhaps it was the following? Nellie the Elephant (cartoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Im trying to find out the name of this movie too! If its the same one I'm thinking of, at the beginning of the movie there is a man with a dog i think & they walk into a toy store. He puts the toy (which might be the pink elephant) on a bench with all the other toys & the elephant falls off. Then i remember the rats are partying & theyre singing on a boat that is getting lowered down from the bird house or whatever & they get thrown over, maybe it is by a train. I also remember a can of dog food in the water. Thats about all I remember. I saw this movie when i was very young & have been trying to find if for MANY years. Does this sound familiar?

Yep, right on the mark! I'm not sure that it is a train that destroys the rat's party, but the bird house is located on a signal light that is above a train station, and for some reason I thought the train came by and knocked them off, but I'm not sure... but I do know it had to do with a train-signal post or something at the train tracks. I'm still searching the web to track it down... first one to find it wins!
Just so I know, how old are you? I'm going to turn 25 in may, and I was thinking this was some early 80's movie, but I'm not sure of that. Could you pin the time any better?

Yeah I'm sure it was a train that knocked them off, but I was very young when I saw it last so I could be wrong, haha. Well I'm only 21 so I reakon it was an early 80's movie. How else can we track it down?

My mom has the end of this movie at her house on one of our tapes we used to tape things on as kids, but it got taped over, so just the very end is still on this tape (I remember seeing it when I was younger watching other movies) but she lives in another state, but I'll be going there soon so I am going to try to watch the credits and see if I can't find something with the name on it or some hint... we'll see.

I hope she still has it! Hopefully you'll be able to find something on there. Make sure to let me know! There must be someone who knows what it's called!

tonesbones agrees: Did you see that? How could I have forgotten the wind up mice?
