The Bandmaster is a 1947 short starring Andy Panda.
Plot[]
Andy Panda goes to the circus, and the circus turns into a circus where a girl aerialist is rescued by her own false teeth; the acrobats and jugglers mangle each other; a girl trapeze artist loses her wig as a rope-spinning act goes haywire; and the drunken high-wire walker finds himself surrounded by pink elephants.
Characters[]
- Andy Panda
- Count Bejerk
- Various circus performers
Availability[]
- VHS/LaserDisc - Woody Woodpecker and His Friends: Volume 1 (1982)
- DVD - The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection, Disc 2 (2007)
Notes[]
- This is the first cartoon to be distributed by United Artists.
- Although this short was restored in 2007 for The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection DVD release, the broadcast of this short on MeTV during the show Toon In with Me was an unrestored version with reissue titles taken from the Woody Woodpecker and His Friends: Volume 1 VHS and Laserdisc releases instead of using the restored DVD version, which this one uses the restored original opening and ending titles.
- Strangely, this airing mistakenly has the 1927-1936 Universal Pictures opening logo plastered in before it switches to the rest of the short's opening titles.
