- Alternate versionsRe-released as a Blue Ribbon reissue where the following changes were made:
- The title card and credits were removed as well as the ending of the song "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm". In the original title art, the animator's hand erases the credits and then draws the farm.
- A gag involving a grasshopper chewing tobacco is removed, most likely because of the punchline involving the Hays Office.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Pee-wee's Playhouse: Mystery (1990)
Featured review
Filled with many very limp jokes.
In the late 30s and into the 40s, Looney Tunes made quite a few cartoons that were almost documentary-like in style. Each had a narrator and they took on a variety of topics...and in this case animals living on a farm. Unfortunately, the cartoon has a much lower than usual ratio of good jokes to ones that fall completely flat. In fact, all of them were pretty lame. So, despite some nice animation, this is a very, very weak entry for the studio.
By the way, the woman's voice at the end was an imitation of Zasu Pitts....if anyone really cares.
