- This short was nominated for an Academy Award, and was the last Looney Tunes short to receive an Academy Award nomination.

Heh, I'm wondering if anyone who first saw this on TV saw the "Abstract WB" opening sequence start up and was like "Oh no, not another Speedy vs. Daffy cartoon!" Only to be in for a BIG surprise...

@@nickp2271 Yeah, it'd have to be someone watching a regular Looney Tunes block and is somewhat unfamiliar with the cartoons' history, and had already seen the "Abstract" logo sequences on those Speedy vs. Daffy cartoons and Rudy Larriva's Road Runner shorts (such as on Nickelodeon in the 1990s or Cartoon Network in the early 2000s.)

I remember first seeing this intro on the 3rd disc of SUPERSTARS volume 1
Surprised that Jones supervised the abstract logo, makes me appreciate it more

I love the abstract logo
To this day I don't ever remember seeing the beginning of this episode. I only remember just changing channels in time to see the middle to end of it.
Always makes me expect to hear - "NUMBER 9? NUMBER 9? NUMBER 9? NUMBER 9?"
This was Chuck Jones' final short with WB before he was fired for doing _Gay Purr-ee_ for UPA while still under contract with Warners.

wouldn't that be war and pieces? or are we counting shorts _released_ before he was fired
This may be a Looney Tunes cartoon, but it has all the charisma of a National Film Board of Canada short.
The closing Abstract WB logo which was also used for Bartholomew vs. the Wheel and Señorella and the Glass Huarache with the bell sound effects (mainly Big Ben) and a tricycle horn for the bouncing “O”s in CARTOON only suited this cartoon.
(1:30) I know this is one of Chuck Jones’ cartoon shorts that has no spoken dialogue throughout, but it seems he couldn’t leave out longtime voice acting great Mel Blanc.

That's just a reused sample from a Bugs Bunny cartoon, lol.

Actually, it's reused from the "Wackyland Rubber Band" from the Friz Freleng short _Dough for the Do-Do._

It was a Bugs Bunny cartoon called Knights Must Fall which was re-used and sampled in this cartoon.

To be fair the black and white Looney Tunes shorts prior to The Hep Cat didn't have rings either. Therefore this was the 1st color Looney Tunes short to not have the rings.
The 1st abstract intro prototype in the us and in the uk.

most looney tunes shorts are never released the year they're produced. warner bros liked to have a backlog
@ZakWolf

@@CrashFan03, said backlog also allowed for a short two-month gap between Warner Bros. Animation's final short ("Senorella and the Glass Huarache") and DePatie-Freleng's first Looney Tunes short ("Pancho's Hideaway").
What a shock this opening must have been to viewers accustomed to the padded concentric circles and the traditional WB logo zooming forward in the middle.
