The Hole Idea

Trivia: In the opening credits, you will see that Robert McKimson is the animator for the cartoon. McKimson did the animation himself because he was re-assembling his unit after the brief 1953 shutdown of Warner Brothers Animation.

Trivia: When we see the start of the newsflash at the theatre, the opening title has "Selzer" as the cameraman and the narrator is "Moray." "Selzer" is a reference to the Warner Brothers producer Eddie Selzer, whereas "Moray" is a reference to Norman Moray, the key executive with the Vitaphone Corporation, Warner Brothers' short subject division.

Continuity mistake: When we see the paper boy holding the newspaper, you can see that the paper is entitled "Extra", but when we see a close-up of the paper in the next shot, the title is now "Times Dispatch."
