Voices Behind Walter Lantz’s Andy Panda Revealed

Most Walter Lantz fans know Andy Panda, a panda who began appearing in cartoons in 1939, as one of Walter’s most popular characters. But who were the voices behind the bear?

According to my research, the following actors voiced Andy Panda:

Bernice Hansen (1939-1940)

Sara Berner (1941-1944)

Walter Tetley (1945-1949)

Daws Butler (once in the 1960s Spook-A-Nanny cartoon)

According to Wikipedia, Andy Panda was originally played by Hansen from 1939 to 1940, with Berner providing the voice from 1941 to 1944, and Tetley taking over the role until Andy’s last short in 1949. Later, Andy Panda made an appearance in Woody Woodpecker. TV. special “Spook-A-Nanny” (1964), in which he was played by Daws Butler.

Bernice hansen: According to the looneytunes.wikia.com site, Hansen was best known as a voice artist who did various voices of female characters for Warner Bros. cartoons in the 1930s and early 1940s. He also did male characters that required shrill voices.

Hansen not only voiced Andy in his early cartoons, Hansen voiced Andy Panda in the famous Andy cartoon. Knock Knock. This cartoon features Woody Woodpecker’s first appearance. Of course, Woody Woodpecker became Walter Lantz’s biggest cartoon star.

Sara berner: Berner was a film, television and radio actress. She was also active as a radio and cartoon host, working primarily with Warner Bros., according to Wikipedia. The online database went on to claim that he received no screen credit at Warner. Sadly, all the on-screen voice credits were given to Mel Blanc at the time.

Examples of Berner’s work that he did not receive credit for include the voice of Mama Buzzard in The shy buzzard and Bugs bunny gets the boid, the singing voice of the former character A. Flea in the 1943 short An itch in time and an uncredited role as female voices in 1947 Book Review. Of course, he voiced Andy Panda and Jerry Mouse at times as well.

Walter Tetley: Tetley, who voiced Andy until he was 49, was a talented actor, according to the site waltertetley.com, a website dedicated to men. The site also claims that although he was a good actor, radio and voice over roles were his background.

Tetley became sought after for child roles and children’s voices due to an aging disorder that caused him to not age properly. Thus, Walter Tetley had the characteristics of a 10-year-old boy for more than half his life, his fan site explains.

Also, speaking for Andy Panda, Tetley is known for playing Mister Peabody’s pet boy Sherman on the Rocky and Bullwinkle shows.

ButlerButler, who once voiced Andy, is a famous voice actor, having provided the voices for Yogi Bear, Quick Draw McGraw, Huckleberry Hound, and Snagglepuss. Butler was also the voice of Droopy Dog for some cartoons.

I highly recommend that younger viewers who have not had a chance to see Andy Panda cartoons purchase some of the Woody Woodpecker and Friends DVDs that are for sale in stores and on the Internet. I bought Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection: Volume 2 and am impressed by the cartoon selections and the quality of the video. Young children will not only enjoy watching these classic cartoons that they have not been exposed to these days. But Baby Boomers and Gen Xers who grew up on Andy Panda and Woody Woodpecker cartoons through reruns will love seeing their old friends on TV again.
