Crazy House is the fourth Andy Panda cartoon produced by Walter Lantz and probably directed by Alex Lovy (as speculated by historians such as Michael Barrier) or by Lantz himself (as he claimed himself). The cartoon was released on September 23, 1940.
Plot
Andy and his father seek shelter from a flood in an abandoned building, which in reality is a fun house, filled with such things as hidden practical jokes, a noisy merry-go-round and a dancing floor.
Notes
- The cartoon is recognized as Lantz's first fully independent film. The use of Technicolor produced some clashes between Lantz and the management at Universal Pictures, whom didn't like that their animation department was offering an apparently better output than their features, so they decided to cut in early 1940 Lantz's weekly advance, forcing the producer to shut down the studio for a while. Crazy House was produced during the closure.[1]
