Behind the scenes

• Part of the title, 'Hare-Less', is another hair/hare pun. This time, it's a pun of 'hairless'.
• Charles M. Wolf is named after Charles M. Jones, one of the credited aliases of director Chuck Jones.
• Charles' character design has a resemblance to the Big Bad Wolf in Red Riding Hoodwinked, but wears a set of clothes.

Errors

• There was a reversed animation on Bugs eating his carrot from when the "Bugs Bunny in" title card fades in.
