Everlasting influence
- The short was used in the feature film Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales, with some changes:
- Daffy's line, "We'll just put it away in the storage for the winter", is replaced with, "Thermopolis will just have to wait."
- The ending was changed with Porky shooting all of the ducks out of his house with buckshot.
- DePatie–Freleng loosely remade the cartoon as the 1969 Pink Panther short, Slink Pink.
