Pantry Panic is the third animated cartoon short in the Woody Woodpecker series. Released theatrically on November 24, 1941, the film was produced by Walter Lantz Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures.

This is one of the very few cartoons where Woody doesn't say "Guess Who?" in the opening titles, although his trademark laugh in the cartoon itself is still present.

Like most of early 1940s Lantz cartoons, Pantry Panic carried no director's credit. Lantz himself has claimed to have directed this cartoon.[6]

Pantry Panic was the third cartoon in the Woody Woodpecker series, featuring an early, garish Woody Woodpecker design. It was the only short with Danny Webb as Woody's voice, and also the last short to feature Mel Blanc since Blanc had recorded Woody's earliest dialogue before he got an exclusive contract to do voice work for cartoons solely for Leon Schlesinger Productions.

However, Blanc's recording of the woodpecker's trademark laugh would continue to be recycled until 1951, when Grace Stafford rerecorded a softer version, while Woody's "Guess Who?", also provided by Blanc, would continue to be used in the opening titles until the end of the series and permanent closure of the Lantz studio in 1972.

Pantry Panic was reworked in 1946 as Who's Cookin' Who?. The starvation personification would also reappear in the remake as well as 1951's The Redwood Sap. As of 2024, this entry is currently the only Woody Woodpecker cartoon in the public domain. As such, it is freely distributed, and can be downloaded from the Internet Archive and seen on YouTube.
