Notes

  1. Previously, some written sources–including Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: A Complete Illustrated Guide to the Warner Bros. Cartoons (Will Friedwald and Jerry Beck) and The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons (Jeff Lenburg)–give it an unspecified date in 1930. The November 22 release is taken from a newspaper article of the same date, based on the fact that new theatrical cartoon shorts were released on Saturdays.
