It is the first film in the series to feature the song "Merrily We Roll Along" by Eddie Cantor, which would later become the opening theme for the Merrie Melodies cartoons, starting with Boulevardier from the Bronx. It is also the final film in the series to use 2 color Technicolor, as Walt Disney Productions' 3-strip Technicolor exclusivity deal expired after its release.
