Quick Facts
History of Walter Lantz Studio:
Walter Lantz Studios
stands out as having the most distinctive animals
for cartoon characters, especially from the golden era of animation
(1930s-1950s). When you think about it, there really weren't any
other cartoons where you would find a walrus (Wally Walrus), panda
(Andy Panda), pigeon (Homer Pigeon), woodpecker (Woody Woodpecker), or
buzzard (Buzz Buzzard)
to name a few. There were a few other rare examples of a penguin
being used before Chilly Willy and at the time he was around, but even
that was an odd animal to use. Along with these unique animal
characters, Walter Lantz Studios still used a variety of animals that
you basically see in cartoons from all studios: cat, dog, mouse,
rabbit, bear, etc.
