Behind the scenes
- The part where the robot sifts the ground on a large sieve to catch Bugs is recycled animation from Rabbit Every Monday.
- This short contains a unique version of the "What's Up Doc?" theme, which sounds more mechanized and futuristic than the other versions.
- This is the last short to use the original Bugs Bunny mugshot and curtain pulling transition, due to it being the last Bugs Bunny short to use the original, larger color rings. The mugshot is absent in the first Bugs Bunny cartoon to use the smaller color rings in the 1954 Merrie Melodies short, Captain Hareblower; a new mugshot would be used beginning with Bugs and Thugs.
Everlasting Influence
- The robot from this shot would be reused in the Nuts and Volts, but in a new design.
