Aftermath
As with a majority of black-and-white WB cartoons produced between 1935 to 1943, a colorized version of this short was outsourced by Color Systems Inc. in the late 1960s, in order to make it appealing to contemporary viewers. Due to a low budget and time constraints, every other frame was only redraw, leaving only half of the cartoon's frame rate.[2][3]
The colorized version was copyrighted in 1967 (MCMLXVII).
Music
The music was composed by Carl W. Stalling.
