Comments

From Jerry Edwards : I enjoy this education short that I saw only once the early years of the Disney Channel (1983 or 1984). The short gets its anti-littering message across well with some entertaining scenes involving littering. The contents are even more appropriate today. I don't understand why the Disney Channel hasn't shown this short since - as far as I know. I especially enjoy the forest animals joining in a "Litterbug, Litterbug, shame on you ..." song chorus about the litterbug spoiling their countryside.

From Rene Zelsek : I often think of this song when I see how thoughtless people can be in public. I wish this short could be shown to the current generation.

I have seen "The Litterbug" and would like to
