Title Card
Wild Wild World
Notes:
1.) Because of the long lead time in producing an animated cartoon, the TV program which inspired this cartoon had already been canceled when this cartoon was released. A similar "outdated references" problem would also occur with "
Person to Bunny " the same year; at the time that cartoon was released in theaters,
Person to Person's then-previous host Edward R. Murrow was replaced by Charles Collingwood.
2.) The documentary was filmed in the "Geo-Goshical Year 75,000,000 B.C." (satirizing the International Geophysical Year 1957-'58), in breathtaking Cromagnonscope.
2.1.) This was previously used in the short "
Pre-Hysterical Hare ".
