What's That Cow Doing There?

The first of the Ham and Hattie cartoons from UPA consists of two illustrated songs. "Trees" is a charming coffeehouse ode to trees, and "Jamaica Daddy" is a fun little Calypso number.

UPA had been an early proponent of breaking out of the 'candybox' style of character design and backgrounding, and as the rest of the industry followed them -- for financial reasons -- UPA nonetheless kept the lead; unlike the other cartoon factories, they liked what they were doing. Sometimes that makes all the difference in the results.
