Behind the scenes

  • This short is available in the public domain, due to Warner Bros. failing to renew the copyright in 1958.
  • When Nickelodeon aired this short, the audio of Bosko yelling "Mammy!" when he goes through a tunnel is removed,[1] likely due to its implication of Black stereotypes and reference to Al Jolson.
