Eli Bloodshy's (Jim Dale's) #11 Iron Donkey train seen in the film is now located at the Big Thunder Railroad at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
Although promotional material for this film prominently featured Don Knotts, he was only fourth-billed, and in a supporting role.
The film's theatrical support accompaniment was a remake of the earlier Disney short The Wind in the Willows (1949) remade as The Madcap Adventures of Mr. Toad (1975).
This was the second time Jim Dale played a not-too-impressive cowboy. He was Marshall P. Knutt in Carry on Cowboy (1965) in 1965, which was part of a classic British series of comedy movies.
