An American animated fantasy film. It was started by Tex Avery who abandoned the project (along with two other cartoons in production, Crazy Cruise (1942) and The Cagey Canary (1942)) when he left Warner Bros., angry at the way producer Leon Schlesinger had tried to change the ending of The Heckling Hare (1941). Robert Clampett completed all three shorts but neither director was credited.
