Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun of "Arabian Nights".
- This short reuses clips from previous Bugs Bunny cartoons:
- This is one of only two shorts in the Golden Age of American animation starring Yosemite Sam not to be directed by Friz Freleng, although sequences from a Freleng cartoon are used in this short; the other short is the 1954 Looney Tunes short, Dumb Patrol (1964), which was instead directed by Gerry Chiniquy of the Friz Freleng unit.
- This is the only Yosemite Sam cartoon from the classic era which had no involvement at all from the Friz Freleng unit, and the only Yosemite Sam cartoon from the classic era which the Chuck Jones team worked on. While Jones himself never directed any Yosemite Sam cartoons until the 1996 Looney Tunes short, From Hare to Eternity (1996), which was ironically the final cartoon he ever directed during his lifetime. That cartoon was done as a dedication to Freleng, who had since died a year before that cartoon's release.
Everlasting Influence
- The plot of this cartoon would be reused for the movie, Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales.
