Notes[]
- The short's original re-release ending titles were never released on any home video format. However, the re-release ending titles do exist on the Associated Artists Productions print, many gray market VHS tapes/DVDs, and the restored HBO Max print.
- The Blue Ribbon opening titles are photoshopped, as they use the 1943-44 rings instead of the 1946-47 rings. The ending card is not affected by this change. This also happens in the 2020 restoration of "Snowtime for Comedy".
- This cartoon was shown in theatres with Love, Honor and Behave during its original release.
- This film was copyrighted on 15 December 1937.[5]
- Vitaphone release number: 8310[6]
