Miss Chiquita in the 1940s



I recall the days when Grandpa used to tell me about some of the really good commercials that leave a deep impression in him. He used to tell me how charming and talented Miss Chiquita is. In the early 1940s, Miss Chiquita was born, starring in several commercials. These commercials were being produced by Famous Studio. Several of the incidental characters appear to have been designed by Dave Tendlar. They are pretty elaborate by Famous Studios standards. Some of the titles include: Chiquita Banana and the Cannibals, Chiquita Banana's Magic, Chiquita Banana's School For Brides and Chiquita Banana's Beauty Treatment. Without further ado, lets sit back and enjoy one of the really good commercial starring Miss Chiquita!!

Filmography: Chiquita Banana Theatrical Commercials



Produced by Disney Studios in the 40's, this commercial appeared only in movie theaters, and for over 50 years kept us humming its catchy tune.

If the above commercial fails to quench your thirst for Miss Chiquita, let us take a peek at some of the clips below taken from the other fêted commercials!









Growl! Argh! I always gets hungry at the sight of Miss Chiquita. Guess it's time for my date with Miss Chiquita. (healthy snack time for me!)
