Behind the scenes

• The title is a pun of the phrase, 'all fouled up'.
• The production of this cartoon coincided with the brief shutdown of the studio in 1953. As a result, McKimson had to borrow animators from other units to help finish the cartoon, and he even animated a few scenes himself.
• This is the only short where Richard Thompson animates outside Chuck Jones' unit.
  • This is also the only time where Thompson animates for McKimson.
• This cartoon was the last cartoon to feature Henery Hawk in the 1950s. He would make one more appearance in the 1961 Merrie Melodies short, Strangled Eggs, the last short in which he and Miss Prissy made their final appearances.

Legacy

• A clip of this cartoon would be used in the 1958 Merrie Melodies cartoon, Feather Bluster.
