Behind the scenes

• The short went to the public domain in 1959 due to Sunset Productions not renewing the copyright in time.
• An unnamed giraffe makes an appearance in the lobby card, but doesn't appear in the actual short.
• The squeaking noises made when the lady hippo complains about the soda would be repurposed in the 1943 short A Corny Concerto, when an angry squirrel berates Porky, his dog, and Bugs for throwing a shotgun at his hole.

Connections

• Wilber would later appear in a number of early Looney Tunes shorts, including Bosko's Party, Bosko at the Beach, Bosko's Store, Bosko's Dizzy Date, and Bosko in Dutch
