* ShotForShotRemake: The cartoon was remade in color in 1941, using the same soundtrack but redrawing the animation to modernize the designs. Disney planned to do the same with other black-and-white cartoons, but the 1941 animators strike and the outbreak of WWII put an end to that plan. The one change that was made was Donald's final line "Aw, nuts!" became "Aw, phooey!", which by this time, became his CatchPhrase.
