Plot

Set in the small town of "Bugtown", the cartoon follows a pair of male and female lovebugs on their honeymoon. They check into a hotel which catches on fire.

They manage to escape the fire and head back home to safety. The firefighters of Bugtown end up putting out the fire, but the hotel is fully destroyed.

Music

The song "Honeymoon Hotel" (by Al Dubin and Harry Warren) was originally introduced in the 1933 Warner Bros. film Footlight Parade. This short appears on the DVD release of that film.

Color process

The film is notable for being the first Warner Bros cartoon produced in color.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> It used Cinecolor since Walt Disney had exclusive rights to the Technicolor process. There was only one other Merrie Melodies cartoon produced in Cinecolor (Beauty and the Beast) before the series went briefly back to black-and-white. Later, the Merrie Melodies moved to Technicolor, though the Looney Tunes continued to be produced in black-and-white until 1943. Cinecolor would make a return in several late 1940s Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts.
