从 20 世纪 30 年代末开始,插画家兼实验动画师道格拉斯·克罗克韦尔在纽约格伦福尔斯的家中创作了一系列抽象短片。这些影片为克罗克韦尔提供了尝试各种非传统动画技术的机会,比如逐帧添加和去除玻璃上不干的颜料、在两片玻璃之间挤压颜料以及手指绘画。这些历时九年制作的单片被拼接在一起以展示,形成一种荒谬的关系,反而凸显了图像的抽象特质。——堪萨斯城电子音乐与艺术联盟

Andy Panda conducts the "Hollywood Washbowl Orchestra" (an ensemble of farm animals, on a farm) in the title tune. After Andy removes a frog from under his wig, he begins. All is well until his shirt gets stuck on a nail; while he's fighting it, the orchestra breaks into a swinging tune. Back under control, a talkative squirrel in the audience annoys the pig sitting next to him; the pig zips the squirrel's mouth shut. A bird lands on Andy's baton; he waves it, and 2, 3, 4, and 5 birds appear (apparently, his baton's become a magic wand). He waves some more, and the birds disappear one by one, finally replaced with a very happy cat. Two ducks dance as ballerinas; then one fox and one duck, but the second duck is not as easily captured.
