Porky Pig's Feat

This cartoon marks the final appearance of Porky Pig in a black-and-white film.

Porky's amended Broken Arms Hotel bill is for $500.62. But the itemized charges are at least (the hotel manager is holding the bill, and his right arm obscures two or three lines of the bill) $619.06 in total. The final bill has the following items: Room & Board: 62.50; Breakage: 29.60; Repair Doors: 30.00; New elevator: 97.53; (Obscured): 67.41; Water pipes: 46.20; Door knobs: 35.40; Glass: 120.18; Clean rugs: 69.80; Fix lights: 26.30; New desks: 90.22; Remove spots: 11.86; Shown total: 500.62; Actual total: 687.00.

This cartoon was colorized in 1968 by having every other frame traced over onto a cel. Each redrawn cel was painted in color and then photographed over a colored reproduction of each original background. Needless to say, the animation quality dropped considerably from the original version with this method. The cartoon was colorized again in 1990, this time with a computer adding color to a new print of the original black and white cartoon. This preserved the quality of the original animation.
