Life Begins for Andy Panda is a 1939 Andy Panda cartoon.
==Summary==
Walter Finchell, the tattletale gossip of the jungle, broadcasts from the treetop that Mr. and Mrs. Panda were presented with a baby boy, whom Mrs. Panda names Andy. All the birds and animals go to the Panda's home to welcome the new arrival. As Andy grows, Mr. Panda takes Andy for a walk in the jungle to get him acquainted with Mother Nature and point out some of the perils.
==Plot==
The birth of Andy Panda! Andy's dad shows him around the jungle, and all of the animals come to admire the new arrival. Later, when Andy is six months old, his father, Poppa Panda, takes him for a walk through the forest. Suddenly, they're attacked by the Pygmy Panda Hunters, a band of pygmy hunters who specialize in capturing panda bears. The whole jungle comes to Andy Sr. and Jr.'s rescue! After an exciting battle with the help of a friendly skunk, the pygmies are driven off, and Pappy, Mammy and Andy Panda are happily reunited.
==Trivia==
The first appearance of Andy Panda and the first cartoon in the Andy Panda series.
Includes reused animation from Snuffy's Party.
Many sources (including Joe Adamson) erroneously state that the title of this cartoon was inspired by the Mickey Rooney feature, Life Begins for Andy Hardy. This is impossible because the Rooney feature premiered in 1941, two years after the release of the Lantz cartoon. The title of this short is actually a direct reference to the birth of Andy Panda.
