Reception
The episode received generally mixed reviews, which use the argument that although the episode lacks a good appeal and script for a runtime exceeding 20 minutes, it memorizes slapsticks like Tom & Jerry and Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner shorts, as well as several other animated shorts of the genre in the 40s and 50s.

Trvia

 * This episode is the only media within The Lion King universe where the characters do not present any dialogue, other than their screams, growls, yawns, among others, which further increases the connection with animated shorts of the slapstick genre, since in these, the characters most often do not have dialogue.
 * It is the first time within The Lion King universe that the Pridelands and their inhabitants are not the central focus of the story, with the Pridelands not even mentioned or seen in the episode.
 * The production group for this episode, with the exception of Abby Wells, was already present in The Lion Guard, with Ford Riley even having praised Disney for the choices he made for the direction and script of this episode.
