Trivia
- This cartoon marks the final appearance of Mickey in his trademark red button-down shorts during his cartoon series' original theatrical run. The shorts would not be seen again in animation until Mickey's 60th Birthday in 1988.
- This cartoon was inspired by the Disney artists' goodwill tour of Latin America and was originally set to be included in Saludos Amigos accompanied by a live-action segment on a Brazilian zoo. Some footage of an animator drawing the armadillo, as well as a pencil test of the armadillo's walk, is featured in the documentary South of the Border with Disney.
