Behind the Scenes

  • Due to Arthur Q. Bryan's death, Hal Smith voiced Elmer in this cartoon instead. He would voice Elmer again in his second-to-last cartoon, What's My Lion? as well as a few commercials for Post-related cereals and the orange drink, Tang.

Errors

  • On the title card used for The Merrie Melodies Show, the title says "Doggone People", merging the words "Dog" and "Gone" together.
