The Timid Toreador premiered

December 21, 1940
Another classic Porky Pig cartoon, The Timid Toreador, opened on this date.

Bob Clampett was briefly sick during this time period, leaving two Porky Pig cartoons (The Timid Toreador and Porky’s Snooze Reel) unfinished, Leon Schlesinger told Norman McCabe to complete the directorial duties—hence the co-director credit under their main titles.
