Behind the scenes
- The title is another pun of Yankee Doodle. This is the second title pun of Yankee Doodle that used since Yankee Doodle Daffy.
- This cartoon's premise is very reminiscent to that of Old Glory, as both shorts feature a child character being educated about American history by their respective father figures after struggling to learn about it on their own, albeit more comedic and with a completely different subject matter of American history. In fact, the opening scene where Clyde struggles with his history homework is very similar to the opening scene from that short.
- At the start of this cartoon, Bugs is seen reading a Bugs Bunny comic book.
- This cartoon incorrectly depicts Betsy Ross as an elderly lady. If Betsy Ross did, in fact, design the First American Flag in 1777, she would have been only twenty-five years old (having been born in 1752).
- Betsy Ross in this cartoon bears a slight resemblance to Granny, but it is not the same character.
Legacy
- This cartoon as well as its plot were used for the TV Special, Bugs Bunny: All American Hero.
Home availability
- In the United States:
- December 1, 2020: Warner Bros. Home Entertainment releases Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection on Blu-ray.
