- Creator's Apathy: While the project was initially headed by well-known animation historian Jerry Beck, he left just as Nickelodeon secured the rights to the characters. In his place, the network hired a crew who, as Beck remembers, knew and cared nothing about the original Terrytoons shorts (with the exception of director Robert Taylor, who had worked at the original Terrytoons studio in its twilight years), only doing the pilot for the money.
- Disowned Adaptation: Tom Terrific's creator Gene Deitch was less than pleased when he saw how the pilot depicted the character.
- Franchise Killer: According to Jerry Beck, the pilot's failure effectively killed whatever remaining interest Viacom had in the Terrytoons franchise, as he learned the hard way when he tried to make a Sidney short for Random! Cartoons, only to be forced to replace him with a similar character.note
- One-Episode Wonder: The pilot is all there is of this series because not only was it never picked up, but it didn't even air.
