Production notes

The original Fleischer Out of the Inkwell shorts were very popular on early, content-starved television. In the early sixties, someone got an idea to update the series. Hal Seeger's studio was called upon to do the job. Through he was involved at the outset, Max Fleischer was unhappy with the content or quality of these made-for-TV shows, and removed himself from the project.

Seeger obtained the services of animation directors Shamus Culhane and Myron Waldman, as well as Max Fleischer (only in the pilot episode).
