[3] The cartoon is well known for a classic scene where Pluto gets stuck on a sticky piece of flypaper.

The segment is also classic because it demonstrated how Disney artists were able to take a simple circumstance and build humor through a character.

[3][4] Clips from the cartoon, including the flypaper scene, were used in the Preston Sturges film Sullivan's Travels (1941), in which the title character (Joel McCrea) has a revelation while viewing Playful Pluto alongside an audience of church-goers and chain-gang prisoners.

[3] The short was released on December 7, 2004, on Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Black and White, Volume Two: 1929-1935.

[5] The short was included in bonus on the Diamond Edition blu-ray of 2009 of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
