Behind the scenes

  • The title is a pun on the nursery rhyme "Little Boy Blue."
  • This is the first cartoon which Miss Prissy had a more extensive vocabulary than her trademark "Yes". Only one other cartoon, Feather Dusted, has Miss Prissy speaking this way.
  • As opposed to Lovelorn Leghorn and Of Rice and Hen, in which Foghorn showed no interest in Prissy, this is the first short where Foghorn pursues Prissy for selfish purposes.
  • This is the first short to contain a scene where Foghorn is featherless. It would occur a few more times in The High and the Flighty, Crockett-Doodle-Do and The Dixie Fryer.
