TheClock Cleaners short on this release is the edited version. During the 1990s, Donald Wildmon and the American Family Association persuaded Wal-Mart to discontinue the sale of the VHS tape "Cartoon Classics: Fun on the Job!" which contained the film. The reason for this was that during his argument with the main spring in the adjacent image, Donald Duck allegedly shouts the F word yet in Clarence Nash's semi intelligible voice, he actually says "Says who?", which is made clear by the spring's reply - "Says I!" Additionally the Motion Picture Production Code, popularly known as the "Hays Code," adopted in 1934, would never have allowed the language in the first place.

Due to this controversy, when the cartoon was included on theWalt Disney Treasures DVD set "Mickey Mouse in Living Color," Donald's line was redubbed as "Awww, nuts!", which was originally said inOn Ice. However, the DVD release ofHave a Laugh!, Volume 2 contains the cartoon with the original line reinstated, as well as its original RKO titles and illustrated title card.^[1]

This set is more or less descriptive of "The Best of theSilly Symphonies", with the cartoons presented here in arranged by theme. The U.K. release, unlike the U.S. release, has the original "Jewish peddler" visuals restored toThree Little Pigs (although the original wolf dialogue as the Jewish peddler is not restored).

One sequence in theThree Little Pigs showed the Big Bad Wolf dressed as a Jewish peddler. This was re-animated in the 1940s so the Wolf would be a student working his way through college. The US release of this set features the edited version, whereas the UK release shows the original Jewish peddler. Both versions use the modified audio from the 1940s version.
