| 1 | * ColbertBump: People have watched it in recent times because this, apparently, was cited as one of the inspirations for ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' (particularly with one of the poses done by the flower boss, Cagney Carnation). In a ShoutOut to this cartoon, once you beat the game's final boss, The Devil, you get an achievement named "Swing You Sinner". |

| 3 | ** ''{{VideoGame/Cuphead}}'': The game's main inspiration is the Fleischer Studios short ''WesternAnimation/SwingYouSinners''. While this mostly comes across visually, there are also a few direct references such as the achievement for beating the final boss being named "Swing You Sinner". [[http://www.studiomdhr.com/press/images/cuphead_sketch_1.png Very early concept art]] even included a study of Cuphead pleading for his life [[https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T86YnmbjzmU/VYjYfKgPPGI/AAAAAAACE3E/Wsu12ipstZ8/s400/Swing%2BYou%2BSinners%2B%252884%2529.jpg in the same way that Bimbo does when threatened with a straight-razor]]. Three separate boss fights take their visual cues from parts of ''WesternAnimation/SwingYouSinners'': |
| 4 | *** Cagney Carnation moves in exactly the same way as a particular ghost from that short (particularly his splayed, upward-facing palms)[[note]]which makes this a recursive shout-out, since that ghost from the original short was a caricature of comedian Monroe Silver[[/note]] and the song's melody is similar to his fight music. |
| 5 | *** Baroness Von Bon Bon chases the heroes in her crawling dessert castle in a scene was inspired by the ghost barn that marches after Bimbo in the original short. |
| 6 | *** The ghosts that pop out of the train resemble the final forms of the ghosts that pop out of the ghost barn to terrorize Bimbo. |
| 7 | ** WebVideo/SuperEyepatchWolf's video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm5sGhaztws Why Cuphead Looks So God Damn Good]]'' includes side by side short clips of the ''{{VideoGame/Cuphead}}'' boss fights inspired by ''WesternAnimation/SwingYouSinners'' with the relative clips from the original animation. |
| 8 | * TroubledProduction: The short was only partway completed when Creator/WaltDisney abruptly did a talent raid on Creator/FleischerStudios, hiring away many of their top animators. The short only got completed when many junior artists, such as Creator/ShamusCulhane (who discussed this event in his autobiography, ''Talking Animals and Other People'') were hastily trained to animate by Creator/GrimNatwick, and then promoted to the position. |
