Trivia[]
- The short's title is taken from the poem of the same name by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Donald even breaks the fourth wall and recites the first stanza of the poem to the camera at the beginning of the short. True to form however, his attempts to look tough and brawny comedically fall flat.
