Notes
- Starting with this cartoon all the way til the studio's final shut down in 1969, all cartoons would be directed by Robert McKimson rather than Alex Lovy.
- Bunny and Claude are based on the real-life bank robbing couple, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow.
- This short was submitted for an Academy Award in 1968, but was not nominated.[1]
- This was the last Warner Bros.-Seven Arts cartoon to use the Hanna-Barbera falling object whistle. The cartoons McKimson directed in 1969 did not use it.
- There has been a long-time claim that this short's ending was cut off when aired on Nickelodeon[2], though this short has appeared on other TV networks such as Cartoon Network and Boomerang, and on DVD with the same abrupt ending. Considering that this short has a sequel called "The Great Carrot-Train Robbery," the "abrupt ending" may have been because the cartoon was originally double-length, but was cut into two parts.
