Robert Cannon directed the short film, with John Hubley (also a producer) as the supervising director; Stephen Bosustow served as an executive producer. Marvin Miller was the narrator.

In 1994, it was voted #9 of The 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field, making it the highest ranked UPA cartoon on the list. In 1995, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
