- In the actual cartoon, O'Neill and Decker are only partially present, and Whittaker, Petrilak, Polson and Marvit are cut off by the camera.
- The two men giving the thumbs up at the Colosseum are caricatures of film critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel.
- The name "R. Crusoe, Esq" can be seen on box next to the fisher. This is a reference to the 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe.
- Although he made a small cameo appearance, it is the only theatrical cartoon in which Marvin appears without either Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.
