Production notes

Bugs makes reference to Amos 'n' Andy at the end of this short. Some time before Lighter Than Hare's release, the original Amos 'n' Andy radio show- a staple since its debut on local Chicago radio in 1926- had already wrapped up 44 years on the air, on November 25, 1960.

Bugs does not say "What's up, Doc?" in this cartoon.
