Trivia
The sign "DON'T BE HALF SAFE" refers to Arrid deodorant. During the 1940s and 1950s, its famous slogan was "Don't be half-safe-use Arrid to be sure", which gave rise to "Half-Safe," the name of the amphibious vehicle which Ben Carlin used to circumnavigate the world.

Goofs
Towards the end, both the cat and the dog get pulled through a mud patch but both come out perfectly clean.

Quotes
Cat: No, no! Not the THINKER!

hummer time, when the living is queasy

Maybe I would have liked "It's Hummer Time" more had they cast Sylvester and Tweety. Still, the hummingbird and anonymous cat do some neat things. The cat keeps trying to catch the hummingbird, but always awakens a nearby bulldog, who proceeds to put the feline through increasingly nasty punishment. But the bird turns out not to be quite what he seems.

I think that the best part was "The Thinker". Like the "books come to life" series and the Bugs Bunny-Elmer Fudd pairing "What's Opera, Doc?", it exposes children to high culture. All in all, this cartoon is worth seeing, if only once. Available on the Looney Tunes website.
