Not YMMV


* DoingItForTheArt: Sort of. Unlike his competitors like [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Leon Schlesinger]] of Creator/WarnerBros, Fred Quimby of Creator/{{MGM}} and Paul Terry of Creator/{{Terrytoons}}, Lantz actually liked making cartoons and wanted to give his audience the best cartoons he could--without spending too much money in the process, since he did suffer from low budgets. On top of that, he was considered a BenevolentBoss by his staff, with many of the same crew working with him for decades, lasting all the way up to the studios demise in 1972.



* HilariousInHindsight: The first names of three of his characters (Andy Panda, Woody Woodpecker and Buzz Buzzard) would later become the names of [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory three certain Disney-Pixar characters]].

* SoOkayItsAverage: The general film historian opinion of Walter Lantz's work; not as good as Creator/WaltDisney's or WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes, but at the same time, around the same artistic level as Creator/FamousStudios and superior to Creator/{{Terrytoons}}.

* EarWorm: Lantz was also adept at making these, such as "The Woody Woodpecker Song", "The Woody Woodpecker Polka", and the Chilly Willy theme.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Lantz originally planned to make a feature-length animated film, riding off the success of Disney's ''Snow White'', which would have been based on Aladdin. Unfortunately, the project never got off the ground due to the lackluster performance of the Creator/FleischerStudios film ''WesternAnimation/MrBugGoesToTown''. Which ironically canceled plans for feature length films from the rivals such as [[Creator/{{Terrytoons}} Paul Terry]] and [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Warner Bros]].
