You Ought to Be in Pictures

Trivia

 * As noted, many staff members have cameos in this short:
 * Leon Schlesinger--appears as himself
 * Chuck Jones--one of the crowd rushing out during the lunch break
 * Michael Maltese--the studio security guard (voiced by Mel Blanc)
 * Tex Avery--the studio make a happy for Porky Pig.
 * Gerry Chiniquy--studio director calling for quiet
 * Henry Binder, Paul Marin--stagehands also calling for quiet. Binder is also the stagehand throwing Porky off the set
 * To keep the short on-budget, relatively few special effects were used to marry the animation and live action. Where possible, the crew simply took still pictures of the office background and had them enlarged and placed directly on the animation stand.
 * Because it was made in black-and-white, the short appeared only occasionally on television. In 1992, the film was computer colorized and became a regular part of the Cartoon Network rotation (though it was shown in black and white on the short-lived Golden Jubilee video collection in the mid-1980s and was shown in black and white on Cartoon Network's installment show "Late Night Black and White").
