| Andy Panda conducts the "Hollywood Washbowl Orchestra" (an ensemble of farm animals, on a farm) in the title tune. After Andy removes a frog from under his wig, he begins. All is well until his shirt gets stuck on a nail; while he's fighting it, the orchestra breaks into a swinging tune. Back under control, a talkative squirrel in the audience annoys the pig sitting next to him; the pig zips the squirrel's mouth shut. A bird lands on Andy's baton; he waves it, and 2, 3, 4, and 5 birds appear (apparently, his baton's become a magic wand). He waves some more, and the birds disappear one by one, finally replaced with a very happy cat. Two ducks dance as ballerinas; then one fox and one duck, but the second duck is not as easily captured. | |

“Andy Panda” manages to assemble some of his farmyard colleagues together to form the Hollywood “Washbowl” orchestra and embark on a short and lively feature that showcases some of their musical talent peppered with some adept and imaginative use of their varied implements as well as a good dose of ... who eats who rivalry. This is an enjoyable animation that doesn’t hang around right from the start as it mixes some swing-time with more familiar and rousing classical themes as the antics build to a crescendo in parallel with the music. It’s maybe not the most original, but it’s still packed with mischief and I quite enjoyed it.
