Andy Panda is a cartoon character who starred in his own series of animated cartoon short subjects produced by Walter Lantz.[6] These "cartunes" were released by Universal Pictures from 1939 to 1947, and United Artists from 1948 to 1949.[7] The title character is an anthropomorphic cartoon character, a cute panda.[8] Andy became the second star of the Walter Lantz cartoons after Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. He achieved considerable popularity until being eventually supplanted by Woody Woodpecker.
