While it was initially thought to be a pilot for the series, Sean Petrilak, director of Wabbit/New Looney Tunes, confirmed via email that their was no pilot for the series, due to the high cost of producing animation. He went on to explain that the episode was used to "try out to different studios", and that they did not end up going with Toon City.
