Development

Second lobby card.

The short was developed as a parody of jungle-themed fiction from the first half of the 20th century, made popular by Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan of the Apes, which prominently featured gorillas; though not always behaviorally accurately. The story was completed in late 1945, around the time when the post-war baby boom emerged in the United States.

Music

The music was composed by Carl W. Stalling.
