Notes

• The EU dubbed uses the 1948 ending card while the US uses the 1938 card.
• One of the highlights in this cartoon is the jovial, laughing referee, voiced by Tex Avery. This idea was later emulated in 1943 by Chuck Jones in To Duck or Not to Duck with a duck referee with a similar physique and personality, except that the referee is voiced by Mel Blanc, due to Avery's departure from the studio at the time that cartoon was made.
