* ExecutiveMeddling: It dodges the bullet from this. During production, Ralph had a bit of a fallout with the producer for not getting paid much from ''WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat'''s success. Ralph was then fired from the film and the direction was given to animation legend Creator/ChuckJones. Chuck declined the offer believing that the film was better off in Bakshi’s hand. You can say Ralph was lucky on this one.

* TroubledProduction: This marked the last time Bakshi would work with Steve Krantz due to the latter's extreme ExecutiveMeddling and off-the-wall antics. During the middle of production, Bakshi realized that he was never paid for his work on ''Fritz'', with Krantz claiming to him that "The picture didn't make money" ([[BlatantLies even though Krantz had just purchased a new BMW and a mansion in Beverly Hills]] after the smash box office success of ''Fritz''). Krantz would also issue memos requesting various changes to the movie, such as censoring/deleting several sex scenes. When Bakshi refused to talk about his next movie ''Harlem Nights'' with Krantz, the producer locked Bakshi out of the studio, wire-tapped his phone, and even fired him from his own movie, calling several directors to replace him, and only rehired Bakshi when co-producer Samuel Z. Arkoff threatened to pull funding from the film; all because Krantz was becoming paranoid about Bakshi's loyalty towards him as an employee.
