When the basket first goes up, Little Blabbermouse is left behind because he was standing in one of the openings in the bottom of the basket. The tour guide provides him with a small pad he can stand in, yet as the basket rises a second time, the entire bottom of the basket is covered, and remains so for the remainder of the cartoon.
Right after the rubber band stops playing, the WC Field's mouse puts a cigar in his mouth.
In the next scene the cigar is gone.
