Trivia
- This eCard was originally going to feature Bob’s green bunny character (early version of Yoyo) but this character was redesigned to a pink kitty (Hoops).
- Hoops wasn’t officially named in this, only being nicknamed “Pink Kitty/Hallmark Pink Kitty”. His hue was also more magenta-purple compared to his later hot pink hue.
- The reason Hoops has only a firecracker was because this was a requirement for the eCard. This animation was also made to quickly meet a deadline.
- The remake was actually remade twice, with the second being slightly shorter.
