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 don't know. Possibly. But if more people care about privacy enough to do a bit, it's a less effective signal.
gollark: Hopefully advancing networking technology (meshnets and better crypto) will make it harder.
gollark: Even if theoretically your internet access can maybe be monitored by the government if it puts in a lot of specific effort, they probably won't if you make it reasonably hard to monitor.
