Jogging Fever was animated at Filman, an animation studio in Madrid, Spain (headed by Carlos Alfonso and Juan Pina) who did much animation work for Hanna-Barbera between the early 1970s through the mid-1980s. This was also notable for being the final television special to feature Hanna-Barbera's controversial studio-made laugh track, which was used throughout the 1970s.
