Kid Banty was voiced by Sheldon Leonard, perhaps best known as Nick the bartender in "It's a Wonderful Life."
"Kid Banty" is banty rooster, a smaller, more aggressive rooster often used in cockfights.
The title plays on the standard description of a rooster's crow - Cock-a-doodle-do.
Kid Banty is listed as a pin featherweight. Pin feathers are a term for immature feathers on an avian, meaning Kid really was a kid.
