Production notes

The five T-Rex brothers were Bugsy (purple), Bernie (blue), Buck (yellow), Bubba (green) and Bruno (pink). Ginger was their sister. The members of T-Rex talked like Jack Benny, Art Carney, Jimmy Carter, Peter Falk and Jimmy Durante.

Though not officially credited, DiC Productions was probably involved in this series. DiC founder Jean Chalopin was listed as an executive producer, and the voice actors came from a stable of Canadians often enlisted by DiC.

As a gruesome joke, the screen credits for English version teleplay were led by the names "William Burke" and "Bill Hare"! Infamous for the "Burke and Hare murders," Irish immigrants William Burke and William Hare sold the corpses of their 17 victims to the Edinburgh Medical College for dissection in 1827 and 1828. From their method of killing their victims has come the word "burking," meaning to purposefully smother and compress a victim's chest.
