The cartoon was created in 1975, but the soundtrack is the original 1961 recording made by Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks. This is revealed in the opening scene, when the Interviewer tells the viewers that the 2,000 Year Old Man has arrived at Idlewild, the nickname for New York International Airport. This was renamed John F. Kennedy Airport in 1963 and certainly by 1975 everybody routinely referred to it as "JFK".
