Production notes

Mush and Milk marked the last appearances of Bobby Hutchins, Dorothy DeBorba, Dickie Jackson (Mary Ann Jackson's brother), and Dickie Moore in the Our Gang series. Wheezer was the last regular full-time Our Ganger left from the silent era.

Mush and Milk was the last Our Gang episode to exclusively use music scores by Leroy Shield. Bedtime Worries, the next episode would begin to incorporate scenes without music and focus more on dialogue than films from previous years. The look and feel of the series would begin changing the next season.

While the gang are students at Bleak Hill Boarding School, the environment seems more like an orphanage and the film appears to be portraying the kids as orphans rather than students.

This film was edited due to negative treatment towards children and negative, stereotypical misconceptions of old people from syndicated Little Rascals television package in 1971. The edited portions were reinstated in 2001 on AMC and aired there from 2001 to 2003.
