Production notes

Working title: "Skyscrapers."

This was the Fleischers' crazy spoof of the Empire State Building, which was being constructed during the making of this cartoon. The Empire State Building opened to the public in 1931, a year after the release of "Sky Scraping."

Max Fleischer is listed as the animator in the Library of Congress copyright catalog.
