Notes
- This short was included in Friz Freleng's Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie and The Bugs Bunny Mystery Special, but the audio is PAL in the beginning and ending to the short, while the middle is NTSC.
- Rocky would bird-nap Tweety once again in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episode "The Cat Who Knew Too Much", except that Rocky's sidekick is the idiotic Mugsy as opposed to the smart Nick.
- The short has been restored on the I Love Tweety Japanese DVD. However, the American release for the restored print is currently not available.
