Release
Dates are in order of release:
- United States: July 24, 1954 in theatres
Behind the scenes
- This cartoon marks the official debut of Witch Hazel.
- This cartoon updates the Bugs Bunny Introduction Card to have a different font and placing the words "Bugs Bunny" into one line instead of two to fit with the updated fade-in to the title card instead of the curtain sequence used before 1954. This would be used in all cartoons until the 1956 Merrie Melodies cartoon, Half-Fare Hare, where it would be updated again with a different Bugs design starting in Wideo Wabbit.
Everlasting influence
- Although they were edited for time, they were both used in Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales and Bugs Bunny's Howl-oween Special.
