* AnimatedActors: Hamilton Ham, the star of the second segment, starts the show putting on his costume from a steamer trunk, as if he were an actor getting ready to take the stage.



* LimitedAnimation: UPA house style. In the scene in "Trees" where the cat is flying through the air, nothing about the figure of the cat moves as the drawing moves across the screen.

!!Tropes:

* BabiesEverAfter: The singer in "Jamaica Daddy" sets about populating the family tree, and has ''twenty-four children''. The song ends with the singer a grandfather in retirement, content about having grown the family tree.
* CatsAreMean: A cat tries hard to eat the cute bird in "Trees". It eventually gets forcibly flung out of the tree, landing in the pile of leaves that Hattie's father is raking, much to the displeasure of Hattie's father.
* FunetikAksent: For the singer with the Jamaican accent, who sings of having to populate "De Fam-Lee Tree" (per the on-screen words).
* HaveAGayOldTime: One of the lyrics in "Trees" asks "What do little pussies climb and rest in?"
* LimitedAnimation: UPA house style. In the scene in "Trees" where the cat is flying through the air, nothing about the figure of the cat moves as the drawing moves across the screen.
* TheMusical: Two unrelated songs set to animation.
* ThickLineAnimation: Simple drawings with thick lines per UPA style.
