sheets, and field backgrounds for Lantz Production "Ace in the Hole" (Prod. #1014
a.k.a "A Jerk in the F.O.B.). In this production Woody Woodpecker works at a stable
right next to an air field, and the sound of airplanes droning around only fuels his
lust to fly. Unfortunately, the only thing the bulldog sergeant on the airfield feels
Woody is competent for is clipping the horses with an electric clipper. Nevertheless,
Woody spends his time reading "How to Fly a Plane from the Ground Up." He eventually
sneaks onto a PU-2 fighter plane. The sergeant orders Woody out of the plane, but
Woody blindly pulls on a lever, and the plane takes off so fast that it leaves all
insignia and numbers behind. Finally, the sergeant lassos the plane, and the jolt
yanks him out of his uniform. He climbs up to the cockpit, and as Woody opens it, a
bomb falls into the sergeant's underwear. The result is disastrous for the sergeant.
At the end of the cartoon, the sergeant, sitting in a wheelchair with a shotgun on his
knee, has Woody clipping every horse in the Army. DIRECTOR: Alex Lovy. ANIMATION:
George Dane. STORY: Ben Hardaway and Milt Schaffer. MUSIC: Darrell Calker. RUNNING

Andy Panda's Pop (Prod #1002) Subseries 13. 1941
Subseries 13 contains storyboard sketches, dialogue sheets, and a synopsis for
production #1002, "Andy Panda's Pop." In this cartoon Andy's Pop asks the Acme Roofing
Company if it will repair his shoddy roof. He is quickly turned off by the exorbitant
price ($200) and says, "I'll fix it myself!" Naturally, Pop isn't the most skilled of
workers, but does his best anyway. The ladder collapses, so Pop tries hurling rolls of
roofing paper. However, the flying paper snatches him to the roof. His best turns to
his worst when an annoying pelican distracts him by making the roof his new home. Pop
angrily tries to rid himself of the feathered pest (who just wants to mind his own
business) and destroys the roof more than ever in the process. Furious, Pop falls
through the skylight, landing (conveniently) near the telephone. Admitting defeat, he
again calls the roofing company, only to be told, "Fix it yourself!" This production
was reissues on television in the 1970s as "Goofy Roofer." Poppa Panda was such a
success at this time that Lantz decided to have him star in his own cartoon. Andy
Panda, however, does not appear in this cartoon, but his mother makes a cameo.
DIRECTOR: Alex Lovy. STORY: Ben Hardaway and Lowell Elliot. ANIMATION: Alex Lovy and
George Dane. MUSIC: Darrell Calker. RUNNING TIME: 7 minutes. "Andy Panda's Pop" was

promotional still, a synopsis, and photostat model sheets for production #C-2, "Andy
Panda's Victory Garden." In this cartoon Andy Panda and his dog Balmer plant a victory
garden, while a pesky chicken named Charlie eats their plants. Andy wants to plant a
new garden with the help of his dog. Unfortunately, everything goes wrong for both of
them. Andy finds that the ground is so hard that he has to use a drill. Balmer chases
a worm and gets stuck in a rake. The worm whacks him and leads him on a merry chase
through a garden hose, turning it into a snake which blasts Balmer in the face with
water. Meanwhile, Andy's seeds are vacuumed up by Charlie Chicken and the battle
continues to rage with everything in a heap. The garden appears to be ruined until
they discover that the super-grow fertilizer is working wonders. This production marks
the first appearance of Charlie Chicken, who was later featured prominently in Lantz
comic books. It was also one of the many patriotic shorts produced by Lantz for the
war effort. The original end title card encouraged theater patrons to buy war bonds
and plant their own victory gardens. The film was reissued as "Andy Panda's Garden" in

too late that he has gorged himself on green apples and falls out of the tree, feeling
very sick. The apple cores dance around him, and the devil panda tempts him again,
causing him to fall down a hole into the lower regions, where he's stuffed with
apples, apple sauce and cider. Andy's better self finally comes to his rescue, knocks
his evil self silly, and leads Andy away over the hill. This cartoon features the

Subseries 21 contains backgrounds, sheet music, storyboard sketches, title credits,
model sheets, a synopsis, and scene/footage sheets for production #UA-5, "The
Bandmaster" (a.k.a."Circus Symphony"). This cartoon features a zany musical
performance of a circus band with Andy Panda conducting the "Overture to Zampa." Band
director Andy just can't seem to stay out of trouble and has difficulty staying on the
bandstand. His musicians keep blowing him off with their instruments. Thus, the circus
turns into a circus where a girl aerialist is rescued by her own false teeth; the
acrobats and jugglers mangle each other; a girl trapeze artist loses her wig as a
rope-spinning act goes haywire; and the drunken high-wire walker finds himself
surrounded by pink elephants. The feature attraction, Count Bejerk's sensational high
dive into a washtub, brings down the house (or tent, in this case), but Andy saves the
washtub. This is the first Lantz cartoon released by United Artists and is part of the
"Musical Miniature" series. This cartoon should not be confused with Oswald the Lucky
Rabbit's 1931 cartoon of the same name, "The Bandmaster." DIRECTOR: Dick Lundy. STORY:

physical. Woody stands outside the shop looking at the ads and wants a "victory
haircut." Woody goes to the shop, but the barber isn't there. Woody decides to take
over the operation of the barber shop. The first customer is an Indian who gets a
scalping, followed by a tough workman who wishes that he had never run into Woody. All
of this frantic cartoon features Woody singing the "Largo al Factotum" ("The Shaving
Song") from "The Barber of Seville," by Giacomo Rossini. This is the first cartoon to
use the famous opening where Woody pops out of a tree (animated by Emery Hawkins). It
is also the first cartoon to feature the new, more appealing redesign of Woody by

Knock (1940) and remained the same throughout the 1940s. DIRECTOR: James Culhane.

Bathing Buddies (Prod. #F-4) Subseries 24. 1946
Subseries 24 contains backgrounds, storyboards, scene/footage sheets, and
background/set-up stills for production #F-4, "Bathing Buddies." In this cartoon Woody
Woodpecker, who lives upstairs at Wally Walrus' boarding house, is enjoying a game of
indoor golf while Wally takes a bath. The ball lands on Wally's head, causing a sudden
end to the golf game. With nothing to do but take a bath, Woody's dime for the hot
water meter falls down the drain. Retrieving his dime requires a bit of ingenuity and
the help of a long wire, a wrench, a jack, a sledgehammer and finally some dynamite.
The combined operations reunite Woody and his dime, but they're too much for Wally and
his rooming house, each of which ends up a complete wreck. Most prits of this cartoon
omit the reference to "No Opium Smoking" on "Wally's Rules for Roomers" list.

Subseries 25 contains backgrounds, pan backgrounds, music sketches, a holograph
score, scene/footage sheets, and the main and end title check list for production
#U-112, "Bats in the Belfry." In this cartoon a nervous and high-strung colonel is
visited by his doctor, who conducts a series of tests in an endeavor to ascertain the
cause of his trouble. In the midst of the doctor's examination, the loud clang of a
bell in a nearby clock tower causes the colonel to jitter intensely. The doctor tells
the colonel that he is allergic to noise and instructs the butler, Jeeves, to see that
his patient has absolute quiet -- no noise whatsoever. Later, when the colonel is
blissfully snoozing, Woody Woodpecker starts pecking away at a nearby tree. The
colonel awakes in a fit of jitters and orders Jeeves to get rid of Woody. Later, the
bell in the belfry again chimes on the hour, and the accompanying vibration just about
drives the colonel crazy. He orders Jeeves not to let the bell ring again, threatening
to fire him if it does. From here on, Jeeves really has a job on his hands to keep the
bell from ringing, what with Woody setting the clock hands on the hour, and the
automatic bell striker responding to the mechanical working of the clock. In the end,
everyone concerned, including Woody, has those vibrating jitters. DIRECTOR: Paul J.

Wally Walrus enjoys the beach on his day off until Woody Woodpecker spoils his

the sand; knocked his face into a cake as he tried to eat his picnic lunch; and the
illegal fire he started that nearly choked him to death and burned up his umbrella and
chair. Wally had enough of Woody's antics. Chasing him to the amusement center, Woody,
disguised as a yogi, persuaded him to dive through a plate glass window. Fastening
Woody to an anchor, Wally throws him into the sea, but the anchor rope pulls the pier
and everything else in after it, and we iris out on Woody swimming into the sunset
with the walrus and thousands of people swimming after him. This is the first

Subseries 35 contains backgrounds, pan backgrounds, scene/footage sheets, the main

"The Bird Who Came to Dinner." In this cartoon a street vendor is selling walking toy
woodpeckers on a street corner. A large limousine stops, and a richly-dressed dowager
steps out to purchase a toy for her son. Woody Woodpecker, peering around the corner
of the building, pictures a luxurious future in a home as she would have to offer, so
he quickly steps out and imitates the walking toy, and pulls on the dowager's fur
coat. She picks Woody up and enters the limousine. Upon arriving home, she calls her
son Reginald to show him the new toy. Reginald is a big, fat, overgrown mommy's boy,
with a penchant for smashing every toy that he owns. Seeing Woody, he drops everything
and begins giving Woody a bad time, and Woody's spared only when Reginald hears the
call to lunch. At the table, Woody has to struggle to get something to eat, as he's a
toy, and toys can't eat. Finally, the mother makes a great big sandwich which Reginald
loads with paprika, hot mustard and other fiery ingredients, and then tries to force
Woody to eat. During a large sneeze induced by pepper, Woody puts the sandwich in
Reginald's mouth, and he swallows it. Reginald's breath sets fire to most everything
that he comes in contact with. Mother just doesn't know what to do with Reginald.
Woody suggests "child psychology" and Mother applies it with a hairbrush. DIRECTOR:

out. Like many Lantz cartoons of the era, this combines a hit song of the day with

Subseries 60 contains backgrounds, pan backgrounds, photostat storyboards,
scene/footage sheets, main and end title check list, orchestral parts and music sketch
for production #U-159, "The Case of the Cold Storage Yegg." In this cartoon notorious
criminal Yeggs Benedict, having just pulled a $50,000 bank robbery, hears a radio
report in his hideout that Inspector Willoughby has been assigned the case. Well aware
of the Inspector's uncanny ability as a sleuth, Yeggs takes off for the Himalaya
Mountains of Tibet. Yeggs no sooner reaches his cave hideout than he sees Willoughby
approaching on yakback -- the yak sniffing the trail a la bloodhound. Trapped on a
dangerous, avalanche-threatened trail, Yeggs starts an avalanche, but it engulfs him
instead. Disguised as the Abominable Snowman, he almost gets away, but Willoughby's
handy blowtorch "de-snows" him. In an area of dangerous crevasses, Willoughby starts a
crack in the ice which follows the fleeing Yeggs. Cornered in a hollow tree at the
edge of a cliff, Yeggs escapes on an improvised pair of skis when the crack splits the
tree. As Yeggs builds up terrific speed down the mountain slopes, Willoughby
calculates the exact time and place of his arrival back home, and then hops on a plane
to be sure to welcome him. Yeggs, zooming through the air, causes the Eiffel Tower to
duck, rides the cables of Brooklyn Bridge, straightens up the Leaning Tower of Pisa,
and turns the Sphinx's head as he zips down one pyramid and up another. A snapping
scrape with a Florida alligator, a ride on the shoulders of a girl water skier, a
quick calculation by Willoughby at Squaw Valley, and a one-point landing by Yeggs into
Willoughby's open bag wraps up the case of the "Cold Storage Yegg."DIRECTOR: Paul J.

Case of the Elephant's Trunk, The (Prod. #U-188) Subseries 61. 1965
Subseries 61 contains backgrounds, drawings, pan backgrounds, photostat storyboards,
scene/footage sheets, cutting and dialogue continuity, violin part for various cues
and orchestral parts for production #U-188, "The Case of the Elephant's Trunk." In
this cartoon Inspector Willoughby, the famed criminologist and master of mystery,
travels to India to aid a rajah whose favorite royal elephant has been abducted by an
evil swami. Encouraged at the prospect of a large reward, our heroic sleuth is hot in
pursuit of the princely pachyderm and his kidnapper. Willoughby discovers the thief's
hideout quite accidentally when he hears an elephant's trumpet and inquires at a
nearby home, "Pardon me, are there any stolen elephants in there?" The swami uses some
ancient magic to dissuade the Inspector from his mission. Most notably, he performs
the famous Indian rope trick, which Willoughby falls over, literally. Each time that
the swami sends the rope climbing skyward, the Inspector follows and ends up crashing
to the ground. The swami then conceals the elephant inside a small steamer trunk
(quite a neat trick in itself), but Willoughby locates the royal pet by singing the
elephant's mating call and is rewarded with a big, wet kiss from the animal's trunk.
The swami succeeds once more in making off with the elephant, but his plan to feed
Willoughby to a hungry alligator backfires, though, and the thief ends up in the
reptile's jaws instead. In the end, the cagey Inspector tracks the elephant (with some
help from a bag of peanuts) and returns him to his grateful master. This is the last
cartoon featuring Inspector Willougby. DIRECTOR: Paul J. Smith. STORY: Cal Howard.

Greene. VOICE: Dal McKennon (Inspector Willoughby). RUNNING TIME: 7 minutes. "The Case
of the Elephant's Trunk" was released theatrically on January 1, 1965 and was

jewel thief Yeggs Benedict, who had previously stolen the jewel, follows Willoughby
with only one thought in mind: repossession of the ruby. Willoughby finally reaches
the tomb , enters, approaches the idol, and replaces the ruby in the forehead from
which it was taken. His mission accomplished, he starts for home. On his way out of
the tomb, Willoughby meets Yeggs, and he knows immediately that he's after but one
thing: the ruby. In a series where Yeggs tries to get the ruby, he's outwitted time
and time again by Willoughby. Finally, his patience about exhausted, Willoughby paints
a hand grenade a bright ruby color. He allows Yeggs to steal the grenade. Following
his adversary into a pyramid, Yeggs makes his move what he thinks is the Red-Eyed
Ruby, taking it from a talking idol (which is actually a remote-controlled robot
operated from inside by the Inspector). The mobster disappears into the distance,
running off into the desert saying, "I got it, I got it!" A distant "kaboom" indicates
that he "got it." However, it wasn't the Red-Eyed Ruby. DIRECTOR: Paul J. Smith.

In this cartoon, Charlie Beary is awakened bright and early by the honking of his
fishing pal's auto horn. Leaping into his fishing outfit, he kisses Bessie goodbye and
runs smack into Bessie's mother at the front door, who has arrived early to supervise
the spring cleaning. Charlie retreats and runs to the back door, only to meet her
there. Resigned to his fate, he draws a likeness of her on the rug and really goes to
work on the rug, raising a huge cloud of dust. Using it as a smokescreen, he almost
makes it to the car, but he's collared by mother-in-law wearing a gas mask. Disguised
in Junior's Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit and scooter, Charlie almost makes it, but
he's reeled back in with fishing tackle. Ordered to move the piano downstairs, Charlie
loads his tackle into the piano, leaps inside, and takes off down the stairs, out the
front door, through his pal's car, and out onto the freeway. He weaves in and out of
heavy traffic, causing complete havoc. Taking an off ramp, he sideswipes a traffic
cop, bowls over a fire hydrant, and is finally stopped by the cop. The cop flips at
Charlie's fishing license, but he softens when mother-in-law shows up and starts
telling him off. The cop sends Charlie on his way and reads the riot act to his
mother-in-law. Charlie and his fishing pal wave goodbye as they drive away to a quiet
day of fishing. DIRECTOR: Paul J. Smith. STORY: Al Bertino and Dick Kinney. ANIMATION:
