Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was the second of three cartoons on economic subjects underwritten by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The others were By Word of Mouse (1954) and Yankee Dood It (1956).
- GoofsThe Motion Picture Association of America approval numbers were assigned to films that were approved by the Production Code. The numbers were assigned roughly chronologically. Numbers were not duplicated or repeated. But through some error two Warner Bros. cartoons were assigned the same number, or one was erroneously given the same number as the other. The cartoons "Heir-Conditioned" (released November 26, 1955) and "Tweet and Sour" (released March 24, 1956) both have the MPAA number 17383 in their credits. One is correct, and one is an error.

Featured review
heir today, gone tomorrow
Having seen the three Warner Bros. cartoons that the Alfred P. Sloane Foundation bankrolled extolling American economics, I think that the foundation should have had Disney make the cartoons. It might just be that the years since the cartoons' release have shown a different kind of economy (the factories moved overseas and laid millions of people off). "Heir-Conditioned" focuses on inheritance and being careful spending one's money. Now, with massive credit card debt a major problem in the country, the cartoon barely applies.
Anyway, we shouldn't remember Friz Freleng for this. In 1955 he directed "Roman Legion-Hare" (featuring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam in the Eternal City in ancient times), and within a few years directed "Birds Anonymous" (widely considered the best Tweety/Sylvester cartoon). This one is an aberration at best.
