Given that Donald Duck's speech often sounds garbled, a rumor has circulated for many years that Donald seems to say something rather unpleasant to Daffy, in response to Daffy's line, "I've heard a lot of wise-quackers, but you are despicable." What Donald actually says is: "Doggone, stubborn little..." The line is very similar to what he mutters in the old Disney shorts, especially when faced with obstacles such as his nephews, or Chip & Dale.

Frank Marshall had this to say:
It came pretty close. We shot a test. We had a script. But unfortunately, we didn't have computer generated animation quite yet. It was just too expensive If you think about it. In the original movie there's really only 48 minutes of animation and in the new movie - or in that movie - he was in everything. So it went from 48 minutes of animation to over 100 minutes of animation.I remember we shot the test to try and see how much we could do with digital props. We weren't even into digital characters yet. The idea was to see what we could do with digital props as opposed to what we did in the original movie where everything was puppeted. All the props were puppeted by strings and wires and poles.
New York! Roger was a song and dance man in New York City [when he] discovered that he wanted to be in the movies and so he came across the country. I remember there being a big dance number. He came out with a troupe of sort of Busby Berkeley dancers on a train and they got to Hollywood and he and Baby Herman moved in together. And that's when he met Eddie Valiant.
