Before you chastise me for my Monkey Island spin-off... Realize that this is the title of a 1956 film. http://imdb.com/title/tt0056461/

In the film there is a theme park. There is an island inhabited by animals who act like people. And the bad guy is....

Did Ron Gilbert watch this movie? I would put the probability at "high." Does this movie cheapen the implied meaning behind "the Secret of Monkey Island?" Yes! Is there a secret at all? No! Its just a reference! Yay, we can put that one to bed, eh? This might help explain Ron's hesitation to give details away about the "true ending" to MI2.

Well, it's VHS.. And it might be in Norwegian (don't remember).. So I don't know how much use you would have from it $:-\$

But it's a trippy movie! It don't have any equality to MI as far as I can remember, but it's filled with weirdness!

EDIT: And greatness!
