1* ArchivePanic: 617 theatrical cartoons made from 1929 to 1972.
2* AudienceAlienatingEra: His run on ''WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit'', for Creator/{{Disney}} fans.
3** For fans of Lantz's own cartoons, the studio is considered to have gone into this phase from the mid- to late-1950s and on.
4* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Some of Lantz's shorts have very well orchestrated music--to name a few:
5** WesternAnimation/TheBarberOfSeville
6** 21 Dollars a Day (Once A Month)
7** WesternAnimation/ScrubMeMamaWithABoogieBeat
8** Abou Ben Boogie
9** The Greatest Man In Siam
10* GrowingTheBeard: The studio had its ups and downs over the years, but its peak years are easily from 1944 to 1949, when Disney veterans Creator/ShamusCulhane and Dick Lundy took over directing duties at Lantz, making some of the best cartoons in the studio's history.
11* HilariousInHindsight: The first names of three of his characters (Andy Panda, Woody Woodpecker and Buzz Buzzard) would later become the names of [[Franchise/ToyStory three certain Disney-Pixar characters]].
12* 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 Creator/ScreenGems, and superior to Creator/{{Terrytoons}}.
13* ValuesDissonance: Some of his shorts suffered from this, but they're much rarer cases than you would find from the other studios. "WesternAnimation/ScrubMeMamaWithABoogieBeat" in particular is full of this.
