Notes[]
- This is the first cartoon to use "Porky's Signature" theme as the opening theme. However, this prototype variation of the theme is only used for this cartoon.
- This is one of the redrawn colorized cartoons that used original theatrical opening and closing titles but retraced.
- The redrawn colorized version used the incorrect 1939-1940 opening title instead of the correct 1936-1937 opening title.
- The camel from "Little Beau Porky" briefly appears in place of a horse, only to be dragged away when the narrator says that it's supposed to be "the legion cartoon".
Censorship[]
- On Nickelodeon's computer-colorized version, the scene where the blacksmith pulls out a gun and shoots a rubber horseshoe in a vice to keep it from moving was cut.[4]
