That’s Not All, Folks:
Both Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones are credited for animation.
What I Like About This One:
The music that plays over the title card.
Buddy dusting a cat.
The villains in Buddy’s dream being Amazonian women enslaving men (no other studio I can think of has done something like that).
A woman blowing a cigar on a man’s behind to make him work faster.
A camel telling his rider, “Don’t ever do that!” when he yanks on his tail to get his attention.
One of the Foreign Legion troops silently telling one of the women that she can’t punch him, since he has glasses on. So what does she do? She removes them, then punches him.
