"The Riveter" from 1940 is the first Disney Cartoon released in 1940, thus the first Donald Duck Cartoon of 1940. It also is the second Disney production released in 1940, after Disney's second animated Motion Picture "Pinocchio (1940)" from 1940.
"The Riveter" from 1940 is the second "Donald Duck" series Cartoon featuring Pete.
Donald enters "The Riveter" from 1940 singing "Heigh Ho" from Disney's first feature length animated Motion Picture Schneewittchen und die sieben Zwerge (1937).
"The Riveter" from 1940 is the second Cartoon in which Donald wears his Blue Sailor cap instead of his White Sailor cap, because Donald had a different hat in the previous Cartoon "Offizier Donald (1939)", although it was still the same blue like his Sailor cap has.
The original opening and closing titles of "The Riveter" from 1940 are presented on the "Walt Disney Cartoon Classics: Limited Gold Editions - Donald" VHS.
