Director George Sidney asked the two to create an animated opening for his musical. He was prompted by the success of Hanna and Barbera's scene of Gene Kelly dancing with an animated Jerry in the 1944 musical "Anchors Aweigh" (1944), which Sidney also directed.
Release date was that of premiere in New York City; general United States release was September 1946.
