Andy Panda was a recurring character of the Walter Lantz cartoon studio, his series lasting from 1939 to 1949, and supported by cameos in other cartoons, as well as appearances in comic books and merchandise. While virtually unknown compared to Lantz's other major star, the Andy Panda series still managed to crank out some fairly entertaining cartoons in its run.The earliest batch of cartoons portrayed Andy as a young Cheerful Child and featured the misadventures of him and his Bumbling Dad, Poppa Panda. Later shorts gave Andy sole top billing and had him aged up into an adult Everyman in the same vein as another contemporary animal cartoon character.Compare MGM's own cartoon bear Barney Bear, which ran around the same time, had Dick Lundy directing in later years, and co-incidentally debuted in the same year.While Woody Woodpecker might have ended up being more of a success than Andy Panda in terms of cartoons, he did appear in a good number of comics by John Stanley for years after his cartoons had stopped being produced.

Animation Bump: The Shamus Culhane and Dick Lundy shorts. Any scene animated by 30s and 40s Disney mainstay Fred Moore within the final United Artists-era shorts (namely "Playful Pelican", "Dog Tax Dodgers" and "Scrappy Birthday") - the opening scene in "Dog Tax Dodgers", featuring a remarkably fluid and three-dimensional (and simultaneously appealing) depiction of Andy, is arguably the most notable example, drawing comparison with the significantly higher-budgeted contemporary Disney shorts over the conspicuously cruder visuals of Andy's appearances during the early 40s.

Took a Level in Jerkass: Andy got hit with this hard in "The Painter and the Pointer", not only receiving an ugly redesign, but also receiving a nasty, foul-tempered personality, going as far as rigging a shotgun to his dog that will fire if he even budges, all just for messing up one of his paintings. Thankfully, he immediately regressed to his softer persona in shorts afterwards.

Art Evolution: The early shorts were pretty crudely drawn, looking more like ragdolls than animals. Things improved when Shamus Culhane brought a little more form to the designs (although most agree that his redesign in "The Painter and the Pointer" was a step in the wrong direction), and Dick Lundy refined the animation considerably by the end of the series.
