Trivia

The editors have doubts whether this film is a Dollywood production, but it is certain that it is Vintage Animation. It is difficult to compare this film with Beech-Nut's well-known Dollywood commercials, as it differs considerably:

  • It lacks the iconic sung jingle.
  • A relatively large amount of live-action is used in this film.
  • The animation is not as vivid as in the well-known Dollywood movies.
  • The eraser removes fruit streaks from the candy canes, which is barely noticeable due to mediocre picture direction.

Possibly this was an experiment by the then advertising agency to see if the films could be made elsewhere, but documentation is lacking. After Dollywood's lengthy and highly successful series, commercials were also produced by other studios, including animation and actors.
