This was one of two animated anthology shows on Cartoon Network (joining The Popeye Show) that aired uncut and uncensored shorts, as well as shorts that would normally get little to no airtime on American TV due to racially insensitive and outdated content (such as Russian Rhapsody and Bacall to Arms), though Kristopher Kolumbus, Jr., the 1938 version of Injun Trouble (ironically, its color remake, Wagon Heels aired), Pilgrim Porky, and the Censored Eleven shorts Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves and Tin Pan Alley Cats were the only Bob Clampett shorts that never aired on the show; the version of Farm Frolics shown was the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies reissue with a missing tobacco spitting joke and a truncated beginning that, as of 2023, was found; and, while there was mention of the violent "director's cut" ending of Hare Ribbin', the version that aired had the general release ending instead.^[1]

The show's opening title sequence was nominated for an Annie Award in 2000 in the category "Outstanding Achievement in An Animated Special Project", but it lost to The Scooby-Doo Project.^[2]
