I was 8 when this was shown in school, and I vaguely remember with hilarity that during the segment when Harry Belafonte sings, everyone (including myself) started screaming, "O.J. SIMPSON!!!" It was glorious pandemonium.
That aside, I love with movie, and I JUST downloaded the album on iTunes. Thank you for uploading!
A little girl simply acts naturally and somehow she deserves to be boiled in water and eaten by tigers? Is that what I'm suppose to get from this? One question...was this made by Hitler?
@TheCrossling a little girl is selfish, inconsiderate and oblivious to her surroundings because her head is too far up her own perfectly groomed butt. she is eaten by tigers because she couldn't stop obsessing over her appearance long enough to get a clue.
It just goes to show you when your actions are rude, mean, self centered, bossy, and the fact that you only care about good looks, there will be consequences. BTW, how did the Girl's ribbon droop all by itself at at about 3:10?
I also think that the moral of this story is: if you buy into gender roles and stereotypes as a means of getting ahead in life, don't be at all surprised when you get treated like a piece of meat.
I get it, if you follow gender roles, you deserve to be eaten by tigers. And by the way, the other explorers didn't get away. They just had to watch the girl be boiled alive and eaten.
@handymandan100 OMG, I just looked that up, I think you're right! Ha! That's been bugging me since I was like 4! Now I gotta figure out why the numbers in Yellow Submarine. Lol.
I always think of this when my girly sisters even into adulthood left me do the dirty or emotionally difficult jobs because they were tender sweet young things and far, far too delicate--when it suited them. Alas, they were never eaten by tigers. I was. Life does not necessarily imitate art. But I have to say these stories and songs really stick in the mind! Like a lot of posters, I searched for this because of the Target commercial.
...you completely miss the point, It isn't about acting like a Lady, it's about not being snobby, stuck up, and vain. This showcases Vanity and self centerdness masquerading as being "a lady".
I remember watching this every begining school year back in the early 1970's at Harrison School in Livingston New Jersey...I just purchased the 16mm movie on e bay ! ..We all loved this..
@saminnyc LOL...you can tell this was made in the 70's
I remeber watching this when I was in grade school (in the 1980's). Any time we had a "special" day at school when we would get to watch a movie - usually the last day before Christmas or spring break when we had an early dismissal - they would always show us this movie.

This reminds me of the Shel Silverstein poem: Pamela Purse.
And when we got grabbed by that wild savage band,
Who tied us together and made us all stand
In a long line in front of the King of the land-
A cannibal known as Fry-'Em-Up Dan,
Who sat on his throne in a bib so grand
With a lick of his lips and a fork in his hand,
As he tried to decide who'd be first in the pan-
From back of the line, in that shrill voice of hers,
Pamela Purse yelled, "Ladies first."

It amazes me that people watch this and think that is how a lady should act. These people are certainly in the minority, but... wow really?

This past summer I went to Europe for the first time with a "real lady"...
It started from the first moment, (when she broke her bag, 'cause she had packed too many dresses that got "mussed"), and went on from there...
For example, my "reward", (for fixing her bag), was that I got to carry it for the rest of the trip...
It basically went downhill from there...
Man, what I'd do for just one stray tiger...

How was this allowed? How did I turn out so well adjusted after having been subjected to this from a young age?
And really, whats the moral? Act like a lady, get eaten by a tiger?
