"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.
