Yum yum Dole Pineapple

March 17, 2006 6:43 PM

In front of the Tiki Room at Disneyland they continuously play this old 1960s film about the Dole Pineapple cannery.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this film? It is a fabulous film and I really, really would like to have a copy of it. I have searched on google, but to still no avail. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I wonder if Cory Doctorow reads here? This seems like a question he might be able to answer. Or at least be able to point someone in the right direction to answer.

In case you can't buy a copy, you can always watch it here.

That was awesome. I've been to disneyland more times than I can count, but I don't think I've ever noticed that movie before.

It's worth noting that Hawaii became a state in 1959, so if this movie was produced in the 60s, Hawaii and pineapple were still new to many.

This is why AskMetafilter rocks.

Very interesting film, and I can imagine what an impact this had on people at the time as o2b noted.

Nice work, shinybeast. I remember watching that movie when I was a kid, I think.
