- This is the final Merrie Melodies cartoon of 1959 and the Warner Bros. cartoon to be released in the 1950s era.
- This cartoon shares similarities from the 1956 Merrie Melodies cartoon, Wideo Wabbit where Bugs disguises himself as an usher to send someone into a show that involved Indians and then trick his enemy into a hunter/sportsman related show.
Errors
- When this cartoon was first released on the Looney Tunes Super Stars: Daffy Duck - Frustrated Fowl DVD, it had been cropped to widescreen, but years later, it had been restored on the Bugs Bunny's 80th Anniversary Collection Blu-Ray Set.
