Woody Woodpecker

When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious like Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!

I won't let my prejudices stand in the way. While Woody wasn't premiered her, he is introduced as a significant character. He is the center of everything in the most obnoxious way. Here, he is indeed zany and out of control. Later, Walter Lantz softened him a bit, and made him more normal, but he is still off the charts in acting loopy. We are introduced to a Fox who is a psychiatrist. Unfortunately, there is no curing Woody. Nicely done first effort.

This cartoon is a great start to the series Mel Blanc did an excellent job on woody All of the animals were do.mean to him little bird be himself that's why he's famous but all in all this was the first cartoon in his series and it went out with a bam any Panda cartoon in the antagonist role he quickly caught the attention of fans and they love them and I do too so this is a cartoon I recommend night now 9/10

Was very fond of Woody Woodpecker and his cartoons as a child. Still get much enjoyment out of them now as a young adult, even if there are more interesting in personality cartoon characters and better overall cartoons.

After a scene-stealing debut in the Andy Panda cartoon 'Knock Knock', 'Woody Woodpecker' is his first cartoon as a leading character. While there may be cartoon characters with slightly more interesting personalities, Woody is still at his best incredibly funny, never obnoxious and very lovable, summing him up in one word it would be wonderfully nuts. His personality traits are still evolving and while a few are different others are unmistakably recognisable.

For just the first lead Woody Woodpecker cartoon, but his second overall, the animation is great. Woody is much more appealingly designed even though still evolving, while the colours are rich and vibrant and the backgrounds meticulous in their detail.

Love the music too. It's characterful, lushly orchestrated and is not only dynamic with the action it even enhances it. The writing is suitably witty and raises a number of chuckles, while the never less than amusing and beautifully timed sight gags are even more impressive.

Highlight is definitely the "Everybody Thinks I'm Crazy" number, in animation, music and voice work, it is quite the comic masterpiece. The totem pole and struggling to say psychiatrist parts are fun too.

'Woody Woodpecker's' voice acting is strong, while there was more familiarity with the later voice actors the cartoon is evidence that Mel Blanc should have voiced Woody in more cartoons, being a near-unparalleled master at being manic and sharp as a razor that has always suited Woody down pat and he was one of Woody's better voice actors to bring that out.

Overall, a Woody Woodpecker classic. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Woody Woodpecker (1941)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

The title character makes his leading debut here. The film starts off in the woods as Woody is going around acting crazy as usual. The forest creatures bring up the fact that he's crazy so the screwy woodpecker goes to see a psychiatrist to see if he really is. This is a pretty good cartoon that has some funny moments but I think it's still a little less entertaining that some of the later entries in the series. It goes without saying but Mel Blanc does a wonderful job with the voice of Woody and that constant "pecking" is a terrific sound and really makes all of these shorts so memorable. I think a lot of credit should also be given to the supporting characters in the forest as well as the doctor. I think one of the best highlights is a simple joke as Woody not being able to say psychiatrist.
