      The score quotes "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down". A month later, with the release of Rover's Rival (1937), "Merry-Go-Round" became the Looney Tunes theme song.
    • Alternate versions
      This cartoon was colorized in 1968 by having every other frame traced over onto a cel. Each redrawn cel was painted in color and then photographed over a colored reproduction of each original background. Needless to say, the animation quality dropped considerably from the original version with this method. The cartoon was colorized again in 1992, this time with a computer adding color to a new print of the original black and white cartoon. This preserved the quality of the original animation.

    cultivation of Porky's future

    "Porky's Garden" is a remnant of the days when Porky Pig was still the Warner Bros. cartoon star (Daffy Duck had debuted a few months earlier, but didn't get to carry a cartoon until 1938). In these early cartoons, the Termite Terrace crowd cast Porky as a simple guy in roles representing everyday life. Here he grows his vegetables very large for a contest, but his neighbor is also participating and has no qualms about undermining Porky's chances.

    I would say that in between Porky's debut and the US entry into WWII, Porky's only really significant cartoons were "Porky's Duck Hunt" (in which Daffy debuted), "Porky in Wackyland" and "Old Glory". Otherwise, most of his roles were pretty hokey. He got really good after the war, when Chuck Jones had him interfere with Daffy's craziness. This one's worth seeing maybe once.
