* ShownTheirWork: The crew wanted to make this portrayal of bullfighting as close to accurate as possible. Film editor Treg Brown traveled to Barcelona to record the sounds of a bullfighting crowd and the mooing of an actual bull, which is what ended up in the film.

This cartoon is also notable for a bit of history behind its making, at least according to Chuck Jones: Jones' supervisor, Eddie Selzer, barged into Jones' office one day and announced, completely out of the blue, that "bullfights aren't funny!" Since Jones and his fellow animators [[AntiAdvice worked from the assumption that Eddie was always wrong about everything]], their only choice was to make a cartoon about bullfighting.[[note]]In his autobiography, Jones joked that his one regret was not animating the bull with a pair of gigantic, pendulous (but [[TruthInTelevision anatomically correct]]) testicles.[[/note]] Jones' suspicions about Selzer's comedic sensibilities were, of course, correct - the short turned out to be, even today, one of Bugs' most successful and popular outings, hitting number 12 on Literature/The100GreatestLooneyTunes.
