== Notes ==
* Despite being in an Easter-themed Looney Tunes television special, unusually none of the classic cartoons included in this special have an Easter plot, as "Easter Yeggs", the only Easter-themed Looney Tunes cartoon ever produced prior to this, was still under ownership of United Artists at the time this TV special was made (through the 1956 a.a.p. sale and various mergers) and therefore couldn't be included in this special in any form, picture or sound, due to copyright issues. (Warner would not regain the rights to the cartoon until 1996, despite having its original negatives stored in the WB vaults at the time).
* This special marks the first time June Foray voices Granny since "Hawaiian Aye Aye", which was released 13 years earlier.
* This is the last Warner Bros. production Robert McKimson ever worked on before his death. He co-directed the newly animated sequences with Gerry Chiniquy.
* Originally when the Easter Bunny (Daffy in disguise) hops around near the end, a classic Treg Brown "ruler boing" sound effect (the kind often used with Hippety Hopper) is used. On the 1992 Bugs Bunny's Easter Funnies re-release, a Hanna-Barbera "boing" sound effect overdubs it.
