History WesternAnimation / AndyPanda

* TookALevelInJerkAss: Andy got hit with this ''hard'' in "The Painter and the Pointer", not only receiving an ugly redesign, but also receiving a nasty, foul-tempered personality, going as far as rigging a shotgun to his dog that will fire if he even budges, [[DisproportionateRetribution all just for messing up one of his paintings.]] Thankfully, he immediately regressed to his softer persona in shorts afterwards.

* TookALevelInKindness: Miranda Panda, Andy's girlfriend seems to be much nicer and sensible in the comics and even in the "Team Play" Auto-Lite commercial as opposed to her meaner self in her debut "Scrappy Birthday".

* BadassAdorable: He's a cute-looking panda, yet has performed awesome feats against enemies.
** His [[GoodAngelBadAngel angel]] in "Apple Andy" [[BewareTheNiceOnes eventually had enough of the devil's abuse]] and gave him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

* Any scene animated by 30s and 40s Disney mainstay Fred Moore within the final United Artists-era shorts (namely "Playful Pelican", "Dog Tax Dodgers" and "Scrappy Birthday") - the opening scene in "Dog Tax Dodgers", featuring a remarkably fluid and three-dimensional (and simultaneously appealing) depiction of Andy, is arguably the most notable example, drawing comparison with the significantly higher-budgeted contemporary Disney shorts over the conspicuously cruder visuals of Andy's appearances during the early 40s.

* RogerRabbitEffect: The ending of "100 Pygmies and Andy Panda", where teleportating the pygmies sends them into a live action city--and the turtle onto a barrel near the Niagra Falls.

* Any scene animated by 30s and 40s Disney mainstay Fred Moore within the final United Artists-era shorts (namely "Playful Pelican", "Dog Tax Dodgers" and "Scrappy Birthday") - the opening scene in "Dog Tax Dodgers", in which Andy brandishes remarkably fluid and three-dimensional motion, is a notable example.

* CaptainErsatz: Andy's everyman incarnation is pretty much Lantz's answer to WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse. His one-time appearing girlfriend, Miranda Panda, is also a shameless ersatz of WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse.
** Andy also owned a series of dogs in cartoons such as "The Painter and the Pointer" and "Dog Tax Dodgers", all of whom were basically just [[WesternAnimation/PlutoThePup Pluto]] moonlighting in Lantz cartoons.

* {{Jerkass}}:
** Andy himself [[TookALevelInJerkass briefly lapses into being this]] in "The Painter and the Pointer" by forcing him to point by attaching his paw to ''a loaded shotgun''.
** Miranda Panda displays very JerkAss behavior towards Andy in "Scrappy Birthday", wanting a fox-skin coat for her birthday which is far beyond Andy's own means.
