Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlong with producer Leon Schlesinger, other members of the Warner Bros. animation studio played the live-action roles: writer Michael Maltese was the security guard, animator Gerry Chiniquy was the live-action director, and manager Henry Binder was the stagehand who tosses Porky out of the soundstage. With the exception of Schlesinger, all voices were dubbed over by Mel Blanc.
- GoofsShadow of a camera can be seen on wall, while Porky Pig beats up Daffy Duck for revenge, off-screen, just after returning to Warner Brothers' animation studio and asks Leon Schlesinger of his contract.
- Quotes
Leon Schlesinger: Hello, Porky. Come on in.
Porky Pig: Hello, Mr. Schl-Schle-Schles-g-g-g-g... Hello, Leon.
Leon Schlesinger: Well, Porky, what's on your mind? What can I do for you?
Porky Pig: You see, I've been in cartoons a long time, and I was thinking, t-that if I had a chance to act in features... What's Errol Flynn got that I haven't?
Leon Schlesinger: You mean to say you want to get out of your cartoon contract?
Porky Pig: Y-yeah, t-that's right.
Leon Schlesinger: Well, if that's the way you feel about it, it's all right with me. You sure you know what you're doing?
Porky Pig: Y-yes.
Leon Schlesinger: Well, if you say so, I'll tear up your contract, if that's what you want.
Porky Pig: Y-yes.
Leon Schlesinger: Well, if that's the way you feel about it, it's all right with me.
[Leon tears up contract and throws it in wastebasket]
Leon Schlesinger: [Shakes hands with Porky] Okay, Porky. Don't forget me when you're a star.
[Porky leaves]
Leon Schlesinger: He'll be back.
- Crazy creditsIn the same frame as the opening WB shield, the copyright year (1940) is listed incorrectly as MCMXXXX, not MCMXL.
- Alternate versionsThis cartoon was colorized in 1995, with a computer adding color to a new print of the original black and white cartoon. This preserved the quality of the original animation.
