Barbera recalled that Arkoff's son Louis suggested that rather than a Doberman, the dog would have to be a non-threatening dog in the Benji mold. Barbera attributes this change in focus in the story to the film's lackluster performance at the box office. In his autobiography, Barbera wrote that the film "did okay... but it never made the splash it should have." Because of this, the future film deals between Hanna-Barbera and AIP were canceled.
Also from wikipedia, it was originally released as a PG film in American summer, then edited for dog profanity and reissued as a G at Christmas.

watched this last week, as there's an iffy transfer on Amazon Prime right now. it's all right actually! you do feel the different touch of a female director, doing a local Chicago based-on-a-true-story caper. the sound mix is sort of staggeringly awful in places and i really wasn't following the plot a lot of the time but there's kind of a nice hangout vibe to it imho. a passable way to spend 85 minutes. Ebert gave it a low star rating but a decent review.

synopsis from imdb
A poor farmer is always inventing things. A lot of them don't work, but the toys he makes brings joy to the children at the local orphanage. It is a very good movie.

man that looks bad. Glad they still found a way to work in a dodge charger police chase even though it's about an inventor bringing toys that don't work to an orphanage

White Lightning is an okay movie but def not as exciting as that poster would make it seem... I don't really remember any police-car explosions for example. For a while Burt Reynolds is wearing the EXACT same style of blue snap-button cowboy shirt that I thrifted ages ago and wear to all manner of fancy occasions, so that was cool. The main thing the film's lacking is Jerry Reed's fantastic theme song from the sequel.
