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". |
