Notes:
When the short's copyrights were sold to Associated Artists Productions, the Blue Ribbon titles were hacked off. This is the print seen on the LaserDisc, The Golden Age of Looney Tunes. In 1995, Turner Broadcasting System restored the Blue Ribbon titles for the short's American and European "dubbed" prints, although with most "dubbed" prints, the ending titles were hacked off in return.
When the short was released on Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 5, the original opening and credits were restored.
