Comments

Released as part of the Disney feature "Make Mine Music"

Resulted in a 1954 sequel, "Casey Bats Again"

From Ryan : I haven't watched this cartoon on "Make Mine Music," but saw it separately on the "Ink and Paint Club" and "Walt Disney Presents." I like this short and would recommend it to anyone who likes Disney films.
