Crazy House is the fourth Andy Panda cartoon directed and produced by Walter Lantz. 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 funhouse, 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. In early 1940, Universal Pictures, which was facing severe financial problems, decided to cut Lantz's weekly advance, forcing the producer to shut down the studio for a while. Crazy House was produced during the closure, as Lantz managed to gain full rights to the studio's characters in case Universal had been unable to keep distributing the cartoons.Cooke, Jon, Komorowski, Thad, Shakarian, Pietro, and Tatay, Jack.
