- On 5 July 2023, the Ottawa International Animation Festival selected the short to compete in the Teen Audiences 13+ category and screen on 22–23 September.[6] The short won the competition and was screened again on 24 September.[7]
- On 11 January 2024, the short was nominated for the 51st Annie Awards for "Best Short Subject".[8] However, the short lost to War Is Over!.
- Despite the short being screened at multiple festivals, it was one of the few cartoons not making it into the actual packaged episodes of Looney Tunes Cartoons. It was eventually released as part of Season 6 on 13 June 2024.
- Yoyo Dodo's voice in this short is identical to Woody Woodpecker, which in return is similar to that of Daffy, whom Eric Bauza also voices.
