Trivia[]
- The text gag in the short, also known as the Latin Names gag, is a reference to the Wile E. Coyote vs. The Roadrunner cartoons from the series Looney Tunes where the screen briefly freezes to introduce the characters with faux-Latin Name text onscreen.
- The outline of this short is similar to Motor Mania, with Goofy portraying a character with a Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-esque split personality.
- One of the dancing hippos from the Fantasia segment "Dance of the Hours" make a brief cameo in this short, albeit redesigned with grey skin and with a pink hairbow, skirt and bloomers similar to that of Minnie Mouse.
