The film's copyright was renewed on December 10, 1956.[1]
This short is notable for being the first to have Mickey wear his signature white gloves.
This short marks the first appearance of Kat Nipp.
This is the first short where Mickey appears without Minnie. However, she did appear with Mickey in the next short.
According to the book Hollywood Cartoons: Hollywood Animation in Its Golden Age, this was the most expensive Disney cartoon made until The Skeleton Dance, its negative costing $2,500 more than Steamboat Willie.
An upgrade over the previous Mickey Mouse shorts, this was the first short to have more detailed animation complete with the usage of shading and reflection to give an almost three-dimensional quality, as opposed to the more flat and simplistic animation used in previous black-and-white cartoons produced by the Disney studio. This approach pushed Mickey's series further away from the silent era of the 1920s and they started to improve on the synchronization of their sound shorts, as well as production values overall.
