The Poet & Peasant
Plot Summary
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.
