Notes[]

  • According to Bugs Bunny in Bugs vs. Daffy: Battle of the Music Video Stars, the three female rabbits are known as the Bunny Sisters: Fanny, Flo, and Esmeralda.
  • MeTV aired a previously unreleased restored print of this short on Toon In with Me, restoring the original ending as well.
  • The dog's voice during the closing titles would be later used for the original voice of the jester that would appear in the closing titles starting with "Those Beautiful Dames".
  • The shot of the dog holding his nose would later be used in the Sunset Productions card used to remove the Warner Bros. logo from television prints.
  • The duck sailors who show up during the girl rabbits' performance have a slight resemblance to Donald Duck, who debuted earlier that same year in Disney's "The Wise Little Hen".
  • During the classical segment of the performance, the works performed are the "Ranz des vaches" segment of Rossini's "William Tell Overture" and a segment of von Suppe's "Poet and Peasant Overture".
