    • Trivia
      There are several references to popular comedian Red Skelton, including his catchphrases "I dood it!" and "Let's not get nosy, Bub!", as well as the "red skeleton" gag (even imitating Skelton's voice). Skelton had many familiar catchphrases from the several characters he'd portray on his 1940s radio show. "I dood it!" is one of several catchphrases associated with Junior, Skelton's "Mean Widdle Kid" character.
    • Goofs
      The title is grammatically incorrect. It should be "Who Killed Whom?"
    • Quotes

      Detective: [arriving right after the victim's murder] Who done it? Everybody stay where you are!

      [someone in the movie audience gets up and starts walking away; the detective sees him and hits him with a baseball bat]

      Detective: That goes for you too, bub!

    Blend of live-action and animation in this Tex Avery jewel

    What can you say about a cartoon featuring the vocal talents of Billy Bletcher (best known as Pegleg Pete in Disney shorts) and Richard Haydn (character actor) and spoofing everything from detective stories to Red Skelton (twice)? This kitchen-sink cartoon is just great, with the most disturbing household staff this side of Lurch and Thing. Also the best Santa Claus gag I've ever seen in a cartoon. One of the few (perhaps the only) time Tex used full animation in conjunction with live action footage, although he did do two of the "Speaking of Animals" shorts for Twentieth Century-Fox. Well worth seeing. Most highly recommended.
