Production notes
The last Sylvester cartoon directed by Chuck Jones.
The first one animated by Keith Darling...and the last one animated by Ken Harris. The second of only two Sylvester cartoons animated by Abe Levitow, and the second of only two animated by Richard Thompson.

Jumpin' Jupiter
I said it before, and I'll say it again: Jones directed GREAT Porky cartoons, LOUSY Sylvesters.
It just doesn't make sense; since Sylvester (the Sylvester WE all know and love) can TALK, why didn't he just SAY to Porky there's someone behind him?
You KNOW a Sylvester cartoon's in trouble when the incidental character--specially designed for the cartoon at hand--steal the thunder away from him.

I've said it before,and I'll say it again: Jones made GREAT Porky Pig cartoons, but LOUSY Sylvesters.
The fact that Sylvester can talk is a well-established character trait. If he wanted to show Porky that someone's behind him, why doesn't Sylvester just SAY SOMETHING??? It just doesn't make sense.
You know that a Sylvester cartoon's in trouble when the supporting characters, specially designed for the film at hand, start stealing the show away from the pussycat.
