Trivia / The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie

• In Memoriam: Dedicated to Jones' late wife Dorothy.
• Reality Subtext: The film features one scene in which Bugs shows that he has many "fathers", displaying a wall decorated with pictures of the many staffers responsible for his cartoons - a nice tribute, but, someone's missing: Bob Clampett, who was very crucial to Bugs' development. The movie's director, Chuck Jones, held a massive grudge against Clampett because of their wildly opposing directing styles, Jones' suspicions that producer Leon Schlesinger showed favoritism toward Clampett when they were all working at the studio, and Clampett's then-recent attempts to claim sole credit for Bugs' creation, particularly the first WB compilation film, 1975's Bugs Bunny Superstar, which had Clampett as the onscreen host (since Clampett had a huge wealth of archival material in his possession, the producers essentially had to agree to feature him prominently in order to get access to his archives). Other than Frank Tashlin, who only directed two Bugs Bunny shorts, Clampett is the only famous Bugs director not on the wall.
• Working Title: The Great American Chase. It was released under that title in early screenings before being changed for general release. In the film's opening, it also uses "The Chase Movie", which then changes to the actual film title.
