Censorship
- When this cartoon aired on Nickelodeon, the scene at the beginning of the race where all the drivers speed off was cut to remove the part where a vehicle driven by Stepin Fetchit (a black character actor known for playing shiftless, lazy black men) trails behind them. Cartoon Network also edited this scene, but only in their computer-colorized version (which is also the version that airs on Boomerang). The black-and-white version they once showed on the installment series Late Night Black and White was uncut.
