Production notes

A total of 156 five-minute shorts were made: 20 in 1958, 84 more were added in 1959, and 52 were made in 1962.

The character of Bozo the Clown was created by Alex W. Livingston for Capitol Records. (Reportedly, the cartoons once bore a credit line for Alan W. Livingston as the creator of the Bozo character, but that has been deleted over the years.)

In its advertising campaign for the series, Jayark Films Corporation promised "magnificent animation."
