Why on earth would you fly a Tazzie devil over the North Pole? Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere! No matter where you're coming from, going over the North Pole would take longer
This was the only classic-era short starring the Tasmanian Devil not directed by Bob McKimson, and aired on TV rather than being released theatrically. It was paired with "Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol", with Yosemite Sam as Scrooge, and a Wile E. Coyote short, "Freeze Frame" (directed by Chuck Jones, who had formed his own company as well by then).
@BadNews88 Well keep in mind, a good chunk of the Termite Terrace gang DID move on to DePatie-Freleng in the 1960s, and they did the Looney Tunes using the "Abstract" WB logos there at the time. Since this short was made by DePatie-Freleng, it would make sense to use it here.
@wileyk209zback Indeed,m8. But it was agreed by ALL parties involved in the post-1963 works (By both studio heads & the artistes) that Bugs Bunny shouldn't appear in any post-1963 productions,as Warners didn't want to tarnish the Oscar-winning rabbit's image by having him appear in works with a strictly limited,drastically reduced budget.
So he never appeared in any LT/MM vignettes until, of course, 1990.
I also take exception to how his Grand Return was handled then,but later on that..

Interesting: I kind of pictured this short actually using the 1960s "Abstract WB" logos due to this being produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterpeises

@wileyk209zback O'God, m8...please don't say that.. The Termite Terrace gang (most of which had left by that time) would be appalled, IMO
