While billed as an Andy Panda cartoon and starring both the eponymous cub and his father, the film is most notable as the debut of the studios biggest cartoon star, Woody Woodpecker.The cartoon starts with Andy asking Poppa Panda if its possible to catch a bird by pouring salt on its tail, and Poppa tells him to not bother him while hes working (read: betting on horse races). Just by chance, a pecking noise starts rattling their door and bothers Poppa. After failing to find out whos knocking, he quickly discovers that the source of the noise is coming from a local woodpecker, who is pecking holes in his roof. Poppa investigates, and quickly comes face to face with a ghoulish looking woodpecker, who literally bursts onto the screen with a "Guess who?", honking Poppa's nose and cackling like a loon before he heads off to peck more holes. Poppa heads up to his roof with a shotgun, and begins to hunt after the bird, to no avail. Andy tries to help out by trying his trick of pouring salt on the woodpeckers tail, but the bird thwarts both of his attempts, first scaring Andy off, and then tricking Andy into pouring salt onto his beer mug, which he blows the foam off of into Andy's face. After a series of comedic antics, Poppa Panda catches Woody in his hat, but the bird is persistent and attempts to fly off with him in tow. Andy successfully shoots Woody out of the sky, and he and Poppa Panda crash back into the house. Woody, too busy cackling at Poppa's misfortune, is a sitting duck as Andy finally pours the salt on his tail, trapping him in place and leaving him panicking. Immediately, a van with two woodpeckers from the nuthouse shows up at the Panda residence to take Woody away. They talk about how they've after Woody for a while, and that he's crazy...but it quickly turns out that these birds are just as crazy as Woody!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Tropes:
