The original print of this film was presented as a gift to Emperor Hirohito of Japan, reportedly because it was the Emperor's favorite cartoon.
This is one of a handful of cartoons played constantly on a special television channel at Walt Disney World Resorts.
This short is included on "The Fox And The Hound" 25th Anniversary DVD.
The wolf is the same one that originally appeared in Peter and the Wolf (1946). Both titles have narration by Sterling Holloway and both times the villainous character's vocal effects were provided by Candy Candido.
