Appearance/Personality
Andy Panda is a panda with red shorts and yellow gloves and shoes with black and white fur on his body. Andy was at first a mischievous cub, whose blustery Papa is frequently trying to prove himself as a good role model. Later, Andy became a stand-alone star in the vein of Mickey Mouse, and even acquired a Pluto-like dog named Milo as a pet. Andy is good friends with Woody Woodpecker and does have a rivalry with Wally Walrus just like Woody and they even stop Wally together from time to time. When the turtle disappeared from the series, Papa began to function as both companion and foil. The character was then given a major overhaul by director Shamus Culhane for the 1944 short The Painter and the Pointer, with a far more malicious personality than he had ever shown previously, but this new version was disliked by both Lantz and audiences, and was not used again.
