Release
Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun of the classic Frank L. Baum story and that of the 1939 musical fantasy film The Wizard of Oz.
- The short uses the regular scientific names for both the Road Runner and Wile E.'s species, rather than the usual Latin name gag.
Errors
- The Road Runner beeps like a regular car but was able to fix his own sound effect.
