  • Cameos are made by Slappy (dressed as Little Red Riding Hood), the Goodfeathers (dressed as Robin Hood and his Merry Men), Rita and Runt, and the Warners (who climb down a beanstalk, which would later serve as the subject of another cartoon,and Dot would get a line that isn't the ending chorus; "Timber!")
  • ).
  • The harp that the Warners hold is a caricature of singer Dean Martin who sings a parody of one of his hits, "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometimes".
  • A parody of Greensleeves is sung by Pinky.
