* FlatCharacter: An example of why Woody Woodpecker was Lantz's most popular character, lasting all the way until Lantz went out of business in 1972, while the Andy Panda cartoons were discontinued soon after this one. Andy has little personality and hardly does anything in this short except play the piano. The contrast with wacky, mischief-making Woody is strong.
* {{Hammerspace}}: Where Woody somehow finds a grand piano.
