Trivia

• The hammer sound from Roustabouts, can be heard when Donald and the Aracuan are hammering a nail.
• On The Chronological Donald, Volume Three, the opening theme uses the cut-short 1947 Donald Duck theme instead of the first Mickey Mouse theme it originally used.
• When Donald goes insane and starts acting like the Aracuan at the very end, he breaks the fourth wall by walking along the black iris and shrinking with it.
