| Trivia | "Rock-A-Bye Bear" was completed in May 1950, but didn't release until July 1952 after Tex Avery took a break from MGM. He was being replaced by Dick Lundy, who also worked for Universal's Walter Lantz and Disney shorts before the cartoon released until Caballero Droopy (1952) and The Little Wise Quacker (1952). Later, Avery returned from MGM in late 1952 since this short made. See more » |
| Goofs | When Spike sees the picture of the pretty woman, he folds it into a paper airplane and tosses it out the window, to avoid seeing it(and whistling at it), but when the airplane returned, it was folded differently than how Spike originally folded it. See more » |
