    • Quotes
      • Porky Pig: Hello ladies and g-g-g-g-gentlemen. We're going to show you some s-s-s-s-sensational movies, and they're just chock full of m-m-m-military secrets. So if there's any Fifth Columnists in the audience, will they p-p-p-please leave the th-th-theater right now? Thank you.
    • Alternate versions
      This cartoon was colorized in 1992, with a computer adding color to a new print of the original black and white cartoon. This preserved the quality of the original animation.
