== Notes ==
* Because the cartoon has no dialogue, the European Turner dubbed print preserves the original Blue Ribbon 1951-52 ending card. However, the USA Turner dubbed print for reasons unknown, does not keep the Blue Ribbon end card.
* The European Turner print has blue borders while the USA Turner print has red borders.
* The reissue print is copyrighted MCMXLIV, instead of MCMXLI.
* This is the first cartoon to use the purple-blue Color Rings.
* Though the European Turner print uses the original ending card, CN Spain and other recent airings of this short in Europe actually use the 1995 ending card instead.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=knjc6CHpGhI
* The Blue Ribbon opening titles are photoshopped, as they use the 1943-44 rings instead of the 1951-52 rings. The ending card is not affected by this change. This also happens in the 2020 restoration of "The Sneezing Weasel".
* The lobby cards refer to this short under the name Snow Time for Comedy. As this short was reissued and the original titles remain lost, it is unknown which title the short was originally named.
