Zula Hula is a 1937 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop, and featuring Grampy.[1]

Synopsis

Betty and Grampy are on an around-the-world flight when they are forced to crash-land on an apparently deserted island. Betty is upset with their situation, but Grampy quickly invents a number of gadgets that allow them all the comforts of home. Things again take a turn for the worse when a group of cannibals show up. Quick thinking Grampy charms the savages by creating a calliope out of the crashed plane's parts. While the natives are distracted by the music, Grampy and Betty repair their plane and make a hasty escape.

Notes and comments

Due to the use of negative racial stereotypes, this short is seldom screened today.
