Trivia:
Was considered to become a Christmas special. It would have featured a live-action Sparky Marcus talking to Santa Claus and in the animation, it had more of a Christmas theme. Don Bluth recalls, "We forced Christmas into it, and it didn't work." However, Crazy Legs briefly wearing the Santa Claus suit, the wintry landscapes and the decorations are still evident. more
Quotes:
Crazy Legs: [singing] I'll stick with you, kid, you stick with me. Together we'll overcome adversity. And old man trouble will have to let you be, 'cause you're gonna come out smilin' if you stick with me.
Zazu: [Enters stage as crowd cheers and starts singing] Safety in number, we always work things out. We can't be too careful, there's danger all about. So look 'round each corner, and under bushes too. There could be a prowler who's waiting there for you.
Banjo: Oh no, Crazy, what'll I do?
Crazy Legs: What'll you do? I'll tell you what you'll do!
[singing]
Crazy Legs: I'll stick with you, kid, you stick with me. Together we'll overcome adversity. And old man trouble will have to let you be, 'cause you're gonna come out smilin' if you stick with me.
Additional Voices: [singing] Nature is eating, that's what it's all about.
Additional Voices: [singing] A chicken, a tuna, and now and then a trout.
Additional Voices: [singing] We ain't got the chicken.
Additional Voices: [singing] The tuna can't be found.

A Don Bluth Classic, 21 January 2003
Author: traildraft from San Diego, CA

Even if I didn't know this was Don Bluth, this animation short is truly a classic. When I first heard of this feature, I had to get it. Only, I wish it were a full length movie. Banjo is a loveable character. Don Bluth sets the tone in great looking animation the way it used to be.
