Who Will Get the Pineapple?

About This Movie

So, 'Who Will Get the Pineapple?' is a curious little gem from 1978 that's landed itself in the animation niche. You’ve got this cheeky monkey at the center, whose antics might charm you at first, but it’s the tiger cub who really brings some depth here, showing the monkey that friendship means more than mischief. The animation style is quite distinctive, with a slightly rough edge that gives it a unique texture. The pacing is laid-back, allowing themes of friendship and redemption to unfold naturally. It’s not your typical polished Disney fare, which makes it stand out. There’s a certain charm in its simplicity, and you can’t help but appreciate its earnestness.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, with few copies floating around, making it somewhat of a rarity for collectors. The original VHS is particularly hard to come by, and its unique storytelling and animation style definitely pique interest among those looking for lesser-known titles. It's not in the limelight like some contemporaries, but its quirks and heart make it a worthwhile find for animators and enthusiasts alike.
