There used to be a car stereo shop here in Nashville that used the Banana Boat Song for their jingle. :-)While some of you have disliked this little cartoon, I would like to point out that propaganda cartoons and films were big business during the second World War. The release of Disney's Peter Pan was postponed because Walt was making - guess what - animated propaganda films.
Now, granted, this little foray is the acme of silliness, and probably does not qualify as a serious piece of propaganda. I did, however, consider it good for a few minutes of comic relief, something I crave in large amounts these days.
