Remake
Freiling had a habit later on of remaking a number of his earlier cartoons over the years as the quality of the studio's animation improved. I recall that he did a remake of this one (possibly in the '50's). The remake changed the pig's name to Sparky and featured a simplified food menu: A 200 foot submarine sandwich (no pickles), the Pie-A-Trope, and a ferries-wheel of ice-cream cones. When he comes to the Pie-A-Trope he struggles to get out of the chair to get to them, whereupon the scientist comments "So, pies are your favourite food, aye?" The machine makes him eat all 20 pies in only a few seconds. Unlike the original, a mechanical arm with a wash cloth wipes his face clean before he is sent to the ice-cream machine. The basement is not shown -- there is only blackness all around and the sequence is done to the LT POWERHOUSE song. When Sparky is brought back up to the house, he is an ENORMOUS sphere bigger than the Scientist -- not just fat, he actually does look like he's ready to burst at any moment. He roughly pokes Sparky twice in the navel (he is tight as a drum) and then yells at him "Now get out!  Never hearken my door again!" The rest we all know. There is NO record of this remake anywhere that I can find. Does anybody out there know anything about it? I remember seeing it air twice on the Sally Star show.
