Andy Panda filmography explained
This is a list of Walter Lantz "Cartunes" featuring Andy Panda. All are entries in Lantz's Andy Panda series, except for $21 a Day (Once a Month) (a Swing Symphony cartoon), Musical Moments from Chopin (a Musical Miniatures cartoon), and Banquet Busters and The Woody Woodpecker Polka, two Woody Woodpecker cartoons.[1]
Directors for each short are noted. Several Andy Panda cartoons produced in 1940, 1941, and 1942 carry no director credit; Walter Lantz claims to have directed these shorts himself. Six Andy Panda cartoons (Life Begins for Andy Panda, Knock-Knock, Fish Fry, Apple Andy, The Bandmaster, and Scrappy Birthday) along with Musical Moments from Chopin and Banquet Busters were released in The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection.
