Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun on "nuts and bolts."
- Some small animations from Mexican Boarders is reused for this short.
- The robot from Robot Rabbit is reused for this short, including the animation of the robot losing its undercap, with the exception of Sylvester's head being stuck in the robot.
- This is the final Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, before the closure of Warner Bros. Cartoons.
Errors
- On the mouse disposal instruction diagram, the assemblers to connect wires "X" and "W" to battery cable. However, when Sylvester reads it, he says to "connect wire 'LX' and 'YX' to battery cable" instead.
- While this was a Looney Tunes cartoon, it uses the Merrie Melodies outro sequence instead. This is probably because the outro of this cartoon got mixed up with the outro sequence from the 1963 Merrie Melodies short, Chili Weather.
