Filming

The short is the last Warner Bros. animated short film that Jack King directed before returning to Disney. He left with the hopes of directing cartoons in color, a prospect only Leon Schlesinger had only given to Friz Freleng and Tex Avery during the late 1930s period.

The film was copyrighted in 1936 (MCMXXVI).

Music

The music was composed by Norman Spencer.
