Vintage Animation with Nautical or Tropical Scenes

Pages: 1 1 replies

In my obsessive pursuit to learn all I can about animation I've been watching a lot of vintage animation on my ipod and didn't realize how pervasive island themes were in early animation so, I thought I'd share some that have a nautical or tropical theme. I decided to include a few newer examples, from the 70's and on as well. If I missed any, please add on! Some are okay, others are better, but after looking for a list somewhere, I decided I should do it.

Here are two versions of Jingle Jangle Jungle, first the original, then a Popeye version:

Betty Boop "Bamboo Isle"
The Fleisher studios that made this ended up moving their studio from NY to Florida. The beginning of this cartoon sounds like it could be from the Mai Kai floor show, but they weren't in Florida yet.

Don't forget Commander McBragg! There's a couple of his episodes that have exotic themes, like him battling a giant squid or savages in a far off land. There used to be a ton of these listed on google and youtube, but alas, all I could find with an exotic theme was this intro:
