The film was written, directed, narrated and featured the musical composition and performance of Pixar animator Bud Luckey.

The lamb's wool eventually grows back in the winter, only for it to be cut again, but his confidence is now completely unshaken and he continues to "bound."

This is the first Pixar short with a theatrical release that included vocal performances with words (Bobby McFerrin did an acapella song for Knick Knack).

The Cars DVD contains a version of Boundin' with Mater as the jackalope, Lightning McQueen as the lamb, and Guido as the gophers as an Easter egg.

To qualify for the 76th Academy Awards, Pixar debuted in December 2003 special screenings of the short at the Laemmle Theatres in Los Angeles.
