These two cartoons were a test for a possible Australian ABBA cartoon show (in the same vein as The Osmonds & The Jackson Five cartoon shows from the 70's) that was never picked up.  

Another theory is that the two cartoons were not meant to be part of a series per se, but just a collection of cartoon clips available for distribution to childrens' magazine-type shows, much the same way as the film-clips were available to pop shows.

Two songs were created - Money, Money, Money and Happy Hawaii:

1. Money, Money, Money featured images from the Money, Money, Money PROMO, in particular Benny's hands on the piano and Frida laughing in the limousine.  
   
   Money, Money, Money was shown on Australian TV in a special called ABBA in the USA hosted by Sounds Unlimited's Donnie Sutherland. The show traced ABBA's rise to No.1 with Dancing Queen with their TV appearances on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert (including him introducing ABBA to the USA for the first ever time with the video of Waterloo) & other shows (including Ring Ring from Tommy Cooper Show) and was shown on 19 August 1977 and ran for 60 minutes, on Channel 7. The show was hosted by a different host for Queensland, NSW/Victoria and South Australia/Western Australia so there are three different versions.
   
   This clip has been released officially on ABBA GOLD CD & DVD special edition on 3 December 2010.

2. Happy Hawaii was included in the DVD to accompany the 30th Anniversary re-release of Arrival in October 2006.

News rushes of ABBA arriving at Perth Airport around 13:30 and then leaving by car to their hotel, the Parmelia.

There are three known sets of footage about this event with different camera angles made by two different TV stations:

1. ABC - shown on 9 March 1977
2. ABC - shown on 9 March 1977 (see VIDEO section (first 20 seconds only)
3. Channel 9.  Most unused footage is usually junked and the only footage to be filed is that included in the story that finally airs. Even stuff of this vintage has a high chance of not surviving. Thanks to the huge hype surrounding ABBA's visit, all material was probably archived for stock usage.

If you click the i  in the top left-hand corner of the picture gallery, this will expand to give descriptive information on each image ie. which song.
