Trivia[]

- This short was later adapted into the episode "Bao Bao's Revenge".[4]
- Jake Kaufman was a composer for the pilot and later whole show, who'd also composed music for "OK K.O. Let's Be Heroes".[5]
- Parker Simmons had plans to release this short as a "DVD extra" for the physical release of the show that was never released. Likely, due to a rise of Streaming services, when last 10 episodes were in development.[6][7]
