Disney short cartoons from this period generally did not carry on-screen credits for voices, as is the case with this cartoon. Some believe, incorrectly, that the voice of the narrator is Billy Bletcher, the character actor and voice artist notable for such Disney work as the Big Bad Wolf in The Three Little Pigs and as Dwarfs Grumpy and Sleepy in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The short was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject category, but lost out to Tom and Jerry's second award winning cartoon Mouse Trouble.
