• The title is a play on the phrase, "flash in the pan."
• This is the last Looney Tunes short produced with computer-generated animation, and the last one to be made in 3D.
• It is also the final overall short of the Looney Tunes theatrical series.
• It is the final short of the four CGI Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons.
• Granny's apartment is the same location used for the short I Taw I Taw a Puddy Tat.
