...auditors who knew that Correspondent Russell Owen of the Byrd Expedition had helped with the script and setting, the producers warned in the program that The World Waits is based on fact "in no sense other than purely creative."

...Mickey claps himself into the teeth and turns on the lion which flees abjectly, its toothless mouth a parched wrinkle. Mickey pursuing, champs the teeth ferociously, suddenly gives out a lion-like roar. Mickey is a mouse but he acts like a man. He has a sack-like hound and a cat. They and the incidental animals and things contrast with Mickey's seriousness, act with fantastic playfulness. A swarm of canary chicks will escape Mickey's cage, light in unison on a table. Suddenly they all go into a dance, do a double shuffle, a stationary skating...
