Trees and Jamaica Daddy

"Trees and Jamaica Daddy" was the first of a UPA series (short-lived) that featured two different subjects (plot, characters)running about 3.5 minutes each, on a seven-minute reel. The first one here was titled "Trees", featuring a little girl named Hattie giving her version of the birds, the bees and trees. The second one on the reel was called "Jamaica Daddy", about the animated Hamilton Ham and his band, who tell all about, in music and the usual UPA animation style, Jamaica Daddy, and his family tree in calypso fashion. "Ham-and-Hattie" were not a team, and did not appear together in this cartoon.

    This is a bit like buying a 7” single this, with one cartoon about “Hattie” on one side and then another from “Ham” on the other. She kicks us off with a cheery little ditty about how lovely and useful trees are whilst her clockwork bird manages to wind up a local cat and ensure the cat manages to annoy the gardener just as much. “Ham” keeps the tree theme going, in a more calypso style, as his little song is all about how to “perpechuate the fam-lee” one. Using a series of “Flintstone” style characters this rather crass second feature suggests that all a man need do in life is marry and have baby after baby after baby… The pair don’t appear to be connected in any way and at best the first is an innocuous giggle whilst the second is vaguely irresponsible and frankly a bit crude.

Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales

If Bugs Bunny were to direct his signature inquiry--"What's up, doc?"--toward the modern-day Warner Bros. creative team, he wouldn't be far off. For 1001 Rabbit Tales, they've doctored up a batch of classic cartoons featuring the carrot muncher and his bumbling comrades and bundled them, near seamlessly, into a feature-length film. Here's the premise: Bugs and Daffy, both book salesmen, are competing to sell the most copies of a kids' book. Instead of burrowing a beeline to his sales territory (he should have made a left at Albuquerque), Bugs ends up in the castle of Yosemite Sam, here a harem-leading honcho. Sam's pain-in-the-spurs son, Prince Abalaba, needs somebody to read him stories; Bugs, who'd sooner take the job than suffer the alternative, that involving being boiled in oil, signs on.
