Behind the scenes

- The short's plot is a Mexican retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale.
- The opening and closing titles are reused from Now Hear This and Bartholomew Versus the Wheel.
- It rarely airs on U.S. television due to its heavy stereotyping on Mexicans.
Legacy
- The short was the final theatrical release of the Looney Tunes series before the shutdown of the Warner Bros. Cartoons division, although it was not the last one produced, as it would go to False Hare, which was released about a month prior.
- Starting in 1965, the abstracted intro and outro sequences would be used for the rest of the series.
Errors
- On the short's title card used for The Merrie Melodies Show, the word "Huarache" is spelled wrong.
