* ProductionPosse: Some shorts saw Creator/DrSeuss collaborate with Creator/ChuckJones, who'd later direct the TV specials based on Seuss' ''WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' and ''Literature/HortonHearsAWho''. Others saw Seuss collaborate with Creator/FrizFreleng, who'd later produce all of Seuss' TV specials from 1971's ''WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHat'' to 1982's ''WesternAnimation/TheGrinchGrinchesTheCatInTheHat''. A couple were directed by Creator/BobClampett, who directed the first ever Seuss adaptation, ''WesternAnimation/HortonHatchesTheEgg'', as part of the ''Merrie Melodies'' series.[[note]]Poetically, WB's 1996 acquisition of the Turner library (which included the pre-1986 Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer library) gave them the Seuss/Jones specials, and 2011 saw them gain the Freleng specials as well.[[/note]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/TexAvery was on deck to direct the last scheduled Snafu short, "Tuscarora"; however, with the war being over, the plug was pulled a year before production. Avery was contracted to MGM at the time, so it's not certain if it would have been his own production team who made the picture, or if he'd be straw-bossing a crew of Warner Bros.' own talented writers and animators on loan for the project. One can only imagine what'd happen if a grand reunion [[note]](one hesitates to say "reconciliation", as Tex's old foe Leon Schlesinger was out by then and the animation department had been taken over by the new brass)[[/note]] with his old Termite Terrace colleagues had taken place.
