Production notes
- The 1971-1975 Cat in the Hat Productions logo is replaced with a logo variant takes place on the same sky blue background just like in the 1966 Cat in the Hat Productions logo taken from How the Grinch Stole Christmas! with the gold circle outline around it and the circle inside is dark blue with the Cat's hat. Then the Cat pops up wearing his hat and then says his catchphrase, "That's me!" He then pulls a yellow sign reads, "Dr. Seuss on the Loose". Then, we turned to the left side of the gold outline and then it cuts it in half forming red, yellow and green color circles. The Cat in the Hat pops up and puts them together. He puts up one finger and he puts "The Sneetches", then he puts up two fingers and he puts "The Zax", and he puts up three fingers and he puts "Green Eggs and Ham". The Cat in the Hat closes his eyes and drums his left fingers until the screen fades to black. On the recent DVD release of Green Eggs and Ham, the variant is replaced with the 1971-1975 logo.
- This is the last Dr. Seuss special to be directed by Hawley Pratt.
