    The voice casting for this picture is especially . . .

    . . . off-putting, as both the ma and pa pandas seem to be yakking with pretentious, hard-to-fathom virtually unintelligible dialects. Their jarring accents leave little room for error, but other elements of LIFE BEGINS FOR ANDY PANDA are riddled with flaws, as well. Relegating Mel Blank, famed Man of a Thousand Voices, to uttering animal noises and incoherent ethnic injustice constitutes a monstrous lack of good judgment in the highest degree. Plus the ethnic mockery is not funny--then or now--and adds nothing to what story line LIFE BEGINS has. Even when BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY's notorious bogus Asian hatchet man spoofed this flick with his own LIFE BEGINS FOR ANDY HARDY two years later, he was able to top this travesty hands down.
