Notes[]
- This is the first and only Looney Tunes Cartoons short starring Witch Hazel. It is also Witch Hazel's only solo cartoon to date.
- The art direction of this short was inspired by Ronald Searle's works.
- The working titles were "Worst Wide Web" and "Get Witch Quick".
- This short was nominated for two Annie Awards, one for storyboarding (Mike Ruocco) and one for voice acting (Candi Milo), but lost to "The Very Pulse of the Machine", an episode from Love, Death + Robots, and for the Zootopia+ episode "The Godfather for the Bride" for Maurice LaMarche's performance as Mr. Big.[1]
- The woman seen in the magazine that Witch Hazel reads is a reference to the cover of the 11th issue of MAD.
