Production notes

The Hollywood Matador marks the second and final time Danny Webb provided the voice for Woody. It was also the first entry in the series directed by veteran animator/director Alex Lovy

The original title was The Mad Matador, but the Motion Picture Society for the Americas convinced Lantz to change it to The Hollywood Matador. Lantz was also urged to remove footage featured Mexicans without shoes and one sleeping, as the association feared that South America theater owners would ban the film.[2]

gollark: I wonder if it's any good.
gollark: You know, the Vega 56 is about the same price, actually.
gollark: Praise supreme overlord AMD and all, but honestly their GPUs are quite meh.
