The cartoon was titled "Life Begins for Andy Panda" upon its release.[4] Papa Panda was voiced by Mel Blanc, Mama Panda by Sara Berner, and Andy Panda by Margaret Hill-Talbot. In Andy Panda's fourth film, Knock Knock, Walter Lantz's more famous character, Woody Woodpecker, was first introduced.[5] Plot synopsisThe story begins with the Finchell Broadcasting Station telling the news that the panda family had their first baby. All of the forest animals rush to see the new baby. All the animals are excited to see him and shout to name the cub. Mama Panda makes the decision, to name him Andy. The arrival of a skunk causes them all to run away. 6 months later, Papa Panda is talking with Andy about appreciating Mother Nature, until Andy looks under a tree with his slingshot and hits an opossum. The opossum stomps on Papa Panda's foot. After Papa opines that Mother Nature has no place to live, Andy starts to cry.[2] While they're talking, they start to leave the forest and enter a barren area. Papa warns Andy about the savage Pygmy hunters that live in the wasteland. Andy runs away from his dad into the wasteland and Papa runs after him and lands in a trap, presumably made by the hunters. The hunters spot Andy and begin to chase him. Finchell announces their plight to the animals and they gather to form a rescue mission. Mr. Whippletree, a turtle, is the first animal to attempt to rescue Andy but he fails because a hunter had his shell.[2] Mama Panda joins the action and fights off some pygmies. A kangaroo successfully puts Andy in his pouch but he was distracted by a pygmy while another one slapped the kangaroo's fanny with a plank. The skunk, who had six months earlier scared the animals chases the pygmies away and the animals cheer and Andy is rewarded by Papa. Andy wishes that the events would be put in a newsreel and Papa, about to spank him, instead decides to snuggle Andy. As the cartoon ends, Mr. Whippletree the turtle, is seen chasing the pygmy who took his shell.[2] StyleThe animation used in this film when the pygmies were climbing out the rock was used again in Andy Panda Goes Fishing and again in 100 Pygmies and Andy Panda. The Pygmies' design changed from human-like, having yellow grass skirts and light brown skin to ape-like, having orange grass skirts and have darker skin in later cartoons. The cartoon wasn't seen in US television for a number of years due to concerns with the 1939 film's use of inappropriate stereotyping of Blacks through the pygmy's appearance, but it was seen in countries like Brazil.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite book | title=Enchanted drawings: the history of animation | publisher=Knopf | author=Charles Solomon | year=1989 | pages=90 | isbn=0-394-54684-9}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book | title=That's enough, folks: Black images in animated cartoons, 1900-1960 | publisher=Scarecrow Press | author=Henry T.
