Production notes

Cubby Bear (in subsequent releases, renamed Brownie Bear) was one of the many Mickey Mouse clones of the period.

Cubby impersonates Paul Whiteman, Kate Smith, Al Jolson and Mae West.

Mahatma Gandhi is caricatured.

Tom And Jerry- two of Van Beuren's other characters- can be seen pulled into the radio when Cubby sings.
