Behind the scenes

  • This cartoon was the final time DePatie-Freleng Enterprises did anything with the Looney Tunes characters, prior to the studio being sold to Marvel Comics (and thus being rebranded as Marvel Productions) and the re-opening of Warner Bros. Animation (with Friz Freleng returning to produce at the rejuvenated animation department after leaving DePatie-Freleng Enterprises when it shut down.).
  • The horse, Pinto, came from the classic Pink Panther series. Its animations were based on the shorts, Pinto Pink and Pink Valiant.
