This was the first Mickey Mouse cartoon ever to be produced when it was shown at a Hollywood theater on May 15, 1928, but was delayed until March 17, 1929 as the fourth Mickey Mouse cartoon ever to be released.
During production, Ub Iwerks reportedly locked himself in his office and put out as many as 700 animation drawings a day.
The cartoon was pretty much produced in secret, as Walt Disney was still contracted to the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit series for Universal.
This is one of six Mickey Mouse shorts that plays in the Main Street Cinema at Disneyland.
Besides Clarabelle Cow also appeared for the first time, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse have already appeared from this short.
