Production notes

A silent cartoon.

The complete cartoon was presumed lost for many years. There are three partial copies that exist, but none of them are of the full cartoon.

The first Oswald The Rabbit short produced. Universal rejected this short due to poor production quality and the sloppiness and age of Oswald. Disney's head animator, Ub Iwerks, refined the character's appearance for the second cartoon, "Trolley Troubles", which premiered on July 4, 1927. This short was finally released the following year, on August 6, 1928.

A version of this short was released on Disney's Pinocchio Blu-Ray release.
