| Trivia | Tex Avery voices the Hippo, having recorded his lines before he left the studio. See more » |
| Goofs | When Bugs sets up the door for the lion to knock on, the hinges are on his (Bugs') side of the door - yet the door opens away from him. The only way this could work is if the door had double-hinges (hinges on both sides), as usually used in restaurants, where the door needs to swing both ways. This is not the case, as there are no hinges on the lion's side of the door. See more » |

Bugs Bunny:
How do you like that? The guy wants to be the king of the jungle, and he ain't even master in his own home. Ain't that rich? Now me, I wear the pants in my family. Mrs. Bugs Bunny: Eh, what's up, doc, dear? [Bugs slinks back into his hole] Mrs. Bugs Bunny: Eh, who wears the pants in this family? [Lifts skirt to reveal a pair of pants] See more » |
