Fish Fry is a 1944 Andy Panda cartoon directed by James Culhane and produced by Walter Lantz Productions. The plot centers around a street cat's endless attempts to eat Andy's goldfish after ordering it from a pet shop.
Plot Andy Panda is captivated by a cute little goldfish in a pet shop window. He buys it and begins to take it home, but he is stalked by a mangy, hungry alley cat that wants to eat the fish. The cat attempts to catch the fish by sneaking up and grabbing it, then by disguising itself as a parched desert traveler, and finally by resorting to crude yet effective brute force. In his haste, the cat loses the fish down a gutter, retrieves it, and then loses it again while trying to cook it. After escaping from a cement mixer into which he was kicked, Andy catches the fish and is promptly chased back to the pet shop. The cat's ambush outside the shop is thwarted by a large bulldog at Andy's side, who disposes of the cat without raising an eyebrow.
Notes Production Number: D-6 The cartoon was nominated for the 1944 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, but lost to MGM's Mouse Trouble, starring Tom and Jerry.
