Notes[]
- This is the first Looney Tune to have the 1938-41 opening rendition of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down".
- This Looney Tune was later colorized in 1992 on Nickelodeon, Boomerang, and Cartoon Network.[3]
- This is one of the few redrawn colorized cartoons that is commonly shown with original theatrical opening and closing titles but retraced.
- The redrawn colorized version used the incorrect 1937-1938 opening title instead of the correct 1938-1939 one.
