| 1 | * BannedInChina: The short was banned in England in its original 1933 release. Plenty of theaters in America refused to show it as well. |
| 2 | * FirstAppearance: of Dr. XXX, later renamed The Mad Doctor. |
| 3 | * PopCultureUrbanLegends: There's been some strange mythology surrounding this short, based on the notion that it reflected some sort of "obsession with death" on the part of Creator/WaltDisney (tying into the rumors of his alleged cryogenic freezing), and that the Disney company tried to actively suppress it in later years. In fact, while it's DarkerAndEdgier for a Mickey Mouse cartoon, it's more of a HorrorComedy than "gruesome", not to mention the AllJustADream ending lightening things up. As mentioned above, it ran into some censorship issues in its original release, but has been readily available since. |
