What an Anthology! is a 1968 American anthology comedy film directed by Blake Edwards and produced by Gary Kurtz. Produced by Walt Disney Productions, the film stars Peter Sellers and Mickey Rooney as its main cast.
The film was released on February 20, 1968, to mixed reviews. Critics praised the performances, Edwards' direction and soundtrack, while others criticized the mean humor. The film was a box-office bomb, grossing $103 million over $93 million in the box office. In 1995, animator Patrick Ventura took inspiration to create his own two-shot short series Yuckie Duck and Sledgehammer O'Possum for What a Cartoon!.
