This was the first animated Disney short to use Hanna-Barbera-produced sound effects (aside from some of their late 70s live-action films that used a couple for cheesy humor like Herbie Rides Again). Since then, they only used the sound effects for their television specials and shows, while they continued to use their classic Jimmy MacDonald cartoon sound effects until The Great Mouse Detective in 1986 for their theatrical shorts and films.
John Fielder and Hal Smith are the only voice actors that reprise their roles from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977). Christopher Robin is also voiced by an actress Kim Christianson instead of a male actor.
Tigger, Kanga, and Roo are absent in this short.
The first Winnie the Pooh project to be outsourced to another animation studio.
