Production notes

The pilot for the animated Yogi's Gang series, this show originally aired as part of "The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie." (It was the second of this ABC hour-long series, and the first produced by Hanna-Barbera.) The pilot was eventually split into two half-hour episodes to air in Yogi's Gang.
