- TriviaLeopold Stokowski, a popular conductor of the day, was known for his long and often unkempt mane of hair. He is the inspiration for the "conductor" here. This character popped up quite a bit in cartoons from the era, such as "Fantasia" (1940) and "Long-Haired Hare" (1949).
- GoofsWhen the elevator is going down, the little dog hammering is standing on a wood plank. But when the elevator gets to him (then goes around him), he is now standing on an iron girder.

Featured review
Brilliance! sheer brilliance!
When I first watched this cartoon short ages ago, I was amazed by the film itself. Such a hilarious cartoon playing out to the tune of a classical song, there are few of.
The story is that of a foreman, who is a lion, who "conducts" a group of human-like animal construction workers to build the tallest building, the Umpire State Building, a clear parody on the Empire State Building. While the animal workers strive to build this construction, hilarity quickly ensues in the form of the workers messing up each others' workings and a multitude of hilarious events which make this cartoon short well worth watching! I recommend it to all who enjoy a good musical parody.
