(#): The original opening and ending title sequences have been restored for this release, replacing the Blue Ribbon reissue titles. However on the ending titles, the 1941-1955 ending rendition of "Merrily We Roll Along" (the Merrie Melodies theme music) is used instead of the special 1937 rendition, used only on this cartoon. This is due to the 1995 Turner "dubbed version" (which uses this rendition) being used as the source for restoration of the soundtrack.
(*): The original ending music has been restored for this release, replacing the Blue Ribbon reissue ending music. (**): The Original title ending card has been restored for this Blue Ribbon reissue.

(*#): Cartoon's ending music glitches at the beginning. Also happens on all other prints (including original, AAP print, and 1995 dubbed version).

Famous quotes containing the words hollywood, caricatures and/or parodies:

    “To say “I accept” in an age like our own is to say that you accept concentration-camps, rubber truncheons, Hitler, Stalin, bombs, aeroplanes, tinned food, machine guns, putsches, purges, slogans, Bedaux belts, gas-masks, submarines, spies, provocateurs, press-censorship, secret prisons, aspirins, Hollywood films and political murder.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
