5	WesternAnimation/AndyPanda leads a bunch of farm animals in a concert. They're playing an actual musical piece: "Poet and Peasant" by Franz von Suppé. Various wacky things happen: a frog gets under Andy's wig, a bird lands on Andy's baton, and a fox stalks the two ducks that are dancing ballet.

10	* BizarreInstrument: The animals use some unusual instruments. A horse makes a drum by banging a large pumpkin against an upturned washtub.
11	* CartoonConductor: Andy waves his arms around in the standard frantic manner.
12	* ChekhovsBoomerang: Andy's silly red wig. First it provides a gag when a frog is hiding underneath it. Then, after Andy's PainPoweredLeap hundreds of feet up, he uses the wig to parachute back down.
13	* TheNounAndTheNoun: ''The Poet & Peasant''
14	* PainPoweredLeap: Andy leaps hundreds of feet in the air when a pitchfork meant for someone else jabs his butt.
15	* PredationIsNatural: A rare example for the era of a cartoon predator that actually gets to eat his prey. All the birds on Andy's baton get eaten by a cat. And when the fox goes after the two ducks, he actually manages to eat one, although the second escapes.
16	* SquashedFlat: When the violinist falls asleep, Andy gets some cymbals and boxes the violinist's ears with them, squashing his head flat.
17	* TitledAfterTheSong: Titled after the overture "Poet and Peasant".
