Behind the Scenes
- While it was punctuated wrong, the title is a play on crow's feet.
- Although he has no dialogue in the short, this marks the final appearance of Elmer Fudd in the golden age of American animation.
- It also marks the final appearances of both Jose and Manuel.
- Bugs Bunny is mentioned by both Jose and Manuel when the two crows first encounter an Elmer-like scarecrow.
Error
- The title is supposed to be called Crow's Feat, but the apostrophe is placed incorrectly.
Everlasting influence
- Friz Freleng would reuse the character concepts for Jose and Manule for a new series of animated shorts at DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, the Tijuana Toads.
