Trivia
This short is notable for being the final cartoon to be directed by Hardaway and Dalton, due to Friz Freleng returning to Warner Bros. animation studios from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's animation studio in 1939, following the failure of their Captain and the Kids series. As a result, Hardaway was demoted back to story man. He left after being demoted and joined Walter Lantz at Universal Studios, where he helped create Woody Woodpecker. Cal Dalton worked as an animator until 1947 after demotion when Freleng returned.

Goofs
The old man shows a close up of his hand with a bottle cap, a washer and other items. When you see the hand from a distance, the items have all switched positions.

Where are the laughs?

"Busy Bakers" is a very nice looking cartoon from Looney Tunes...particularly because of the exquisite looking backgrounds. But it's also a cartoon I disliked, as there really were no laughs...none.

The cartoon is set at Swenson's Bakery. It seems business has been bad and he has no customers. But, when a beggar enters the place, nice Swenson gives the man his last baked good. It turns out the beggar is actually a man in disguise (not an elf) and he and his friends decide to help Swenson by baking a ton of goods for him to sell.

There is singing...but no laughs. 'Nuff said.
