- This short is available in the public domain, due to Warner Bros. failing to renew the copyright in 1959.
- Despite the short's September 20 release, a Variety magazine review puts its release as early as September 9, as it could have been from an advance screening.[2]
- When Nickelodeon aired this short, the scene where the pig gags and spits out a corncob is cut.[3]
Errors
- At the last second where Bosko and the pigs say "Aye!" at the end, Bosko's nose turns white.
