Continuity mistake: When Poochini is rehearsing, Mysto the Magician knocks on the door of his dressing room. At this point, you can see that the handle is on the left hand side of the door, but when Poochini opens the door, he opens it from the right hand side.
Magical Maestro (1952)
Directed by: Tex Avery
Starring: Daws Butler, Carlos Ramirez
Continuity mistake: When Mysto uses his magic wand to raise Poochini to the ceiling during the show, you can see that Poochini is in the middle of the stage when this happens, but when Poochini comes crashing to the ground in the next, he is now at the left of the stage.
Continuity mistake: When we first see a view of the opera hall, you can see there is no aisle in the centre. But when Mysto runs after Poochini discovers that the conductor was actually Mysto in disguise, an aisle has suddenly appeared.
Trivia: During the show, there is a hair that gets caught in the projector that is removed by Poochini before continuing his performance. The joke was so realistic that many projectionists attempted to remove the hair themselves, not realising that it was part of the cartoon.
Trivia: When Mysto the Magician tries to impress the Great Poochini with his audition, he ends with a quick dance. This is a reference to another Tex Avery cartoon, "Doggone Tired", in which the hunting dog did the same dance with background music after finding a rabbit hole.
