Notes[]
- This was Frank Tashlin's first cartoon with Warner Brothers as a director. He had briefly been an animator with the studio in 1933, but left after a dispute with Leon Schlesinger over rights to a comic strip Tashlin had created. He would stay with the studio until 1938, departing to become a writer for Disney, but would return once more in 1943.
- This cartoon was Carl Stalling's first role as a musical director. He came to Warner Brothers from the Ub Iwerks studio, and would stay for over twenty years.
- This cartoon is noted for its dramatic camera angles and filmic techniques typically seen in live-action movies, something Tashlin specialized in. Later, when he moved to directing live-action pictures, many would note that he brought cartoon elements to his pictures.
- Some animation from this cartoon was reused in " Chicken Jitters" and "Wise Quacks".
