Woody Woodpecker : Alerte en Colo

When I was little, I was captivated by popular cartoon series, including the adventures of this woodpecker. Therefore, when it was announced that there would be a live-action/animated slapstick comedy film featuring Woody Woodpecker, I eagerly anticipated its release, but..

This particular film fails to resonate with contemporary audiences, appealing neither to adults nor children. Its humor lacks depth, the acting appears unconvincing and at times exaggerated, and the story-line feels contrived, rendering it unsuitable for present-day viewers, in my opinion. It seems to cater more to existing fans rather than attracting new ones.

While it might have been entertaining in its time, the film falls short of contemporary standards. It could serve as a fallback option if you happen to have a surplus of free time and no other viewing alternatives, but it's not really a recommended choice for a discerning audience seeking engaging and serious content.

Despite attempting to convey a moral message, the film does so in a shallow manner. It's evident that there's room for improvement in the quality of animation and storytelling. Hopefully, they can enhance the depth and sophistication of their future animated films, delivering more impactful and resonant messages to their audience.

I did not like the first movie Woody Woodpecker (2017), and thought it was an unfunny annoying at times kid's movie that felt like they were just trying to capitalize on the nostalgia of the character Woody Woodpecker, which is why I was confused on why there was a sequel movie being released seven years later on the streaming service Netflix; after watching, I will say that this sequel was bad, but It was at least better than the first with it feeling like there was effort put into it. The sequel movie Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp (2024) has a few entertaining moments, good CG 3D effects for Woody and other characters, the performances were good enough, and there were a few more funny moments in this than the first; the issues involve the by the numbers villain plot in finding gold at the camp, some immature humor that is expected for a movie like this, and random little moments that were not needed that could have been cut out of the scenes.

The main kid characters were not bad with ok performances, and each kid having their own quirk to them will help themselves and their side of the camp later in the film, but there are also other kids on the opposite side of the camp who are more aggressive and competitive who give an over-the-top performance; the camp counselor at Camp Woo Hoo is supportive and is trying to motivate her campers to believe in themselves to defeat the competition, while the counselor at Camp Hoo Rah is pushing his campers to defeat their opponents in intense ways. There is a whole thing going on in the story involving the founder of the camp, the gold he has hidden, and the feud between the two sides at the camp, though interesting, was just foreshadowing for upcoming events that involves how they find the gold and how to take care of a certain situation; this also just gives a reason for a side cartoon antagonist to come and try to sabotage things to get to it. Lastly, though one half of the camp had ok performances, and the other half had some over the top performances, they were likable enough and the interactions between them and Woody worked well with the CG.

The antagonist is a character named Buzz Buzzard, voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, who is trying to trick one of the counselors into helping him find the gold hidden at camp, which is a straightforward plot, but it mostly involves him failing at getting rid of Woody Woodpecker who is trying to help the campers that can be occasionally funny; there is also Wally Walrus voiced by Tom Kenny who is the inspector who could shut the camp down if there are any more damages or safety violations. Woody Woodpecker has an occasional funny moment with the CGI 3D effects on him and the other characters looking believable and like they are in each scene interacting off the human characters; the movie was a bit funnier than the first with there being an occasional joke and fourth wall break that did work with also slightly funny visuals, but there were, for the most part, awkward jokes that do not work and could have been cut out entirely.

The sequel movie Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp (2024) has a couple entertaining moments, good CG 3D effects for Woody and other characters, the performances were good enough, and there were a few more funny moments in this than the first; the issues involve the by the numbers villain plot in finding gold at the camp, and some awkward jokes and line of dialogue. Last thing I will say is that I thought this movie was going to be worse than the first, but it was not, but it still could have been better; you do not have to rush to Netflix to see this sequel, but for those who did not like the first movie, this is worth just one watch.

Woody gets annoyed by a brash social influencer doing a production nearby. He causes havoc and drives him away. For all the destruction, the park banishes him. He finds a new home in Camp Woo Hoo next door. He befriends young camper Maggie. Maggie's mother is camp owner Angie (Mary-Louise Parker). They get into a battle with a rival camp and escaped criminal Buzz Buzzard.

This is a sequel to the 2017 Woody Woodpecker movie. I doubt it's necessary to see the first movie. It's live action with cartoon characters. It looks cheap on the level of Netflix and it's not trying to be more than that. First I don't like the design of Woody. He reminds me of the worst of his animation. It's definitely not the classic cartoons. On the other hand, Buzz looks fine. As for the rest, it's a lot of weak kiddie movie story and forgettable characters. Even Mary-Louise Parker is struggling in this one.

Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp is a Netfix exclusive movie starring the wacky woodpecker from the era of classic cartoons, and serves as a sequel to that horrible live action film from 2017.

After causing too much chaos, the ranger tells Woody to leave his home in the forest until he learns about teamwork. He finds it in Camp Woo Hoo, a STEAM camp (STEAM being short for science,technology, engineering, art, and math) and befriends the campers. It is about time for the Wilderness Games, an event where Woo Hoo loses to Camp Hoo Rah, and this year, the camp counselor, Zane Mallard, has decided to team up with Buzz Buzzard to get Camp Woo Hoo shut down, although Buzz is wanting to find the gold left by an ancestor of the camp counselors.

This movie is mostly for the kids, as it is basically Woody learning an important life lesson while going into cartoon battles. An improvement from its awful predecessor is that it actually includes Buzz Buzzard and Wally Walrus, two of Woody's greatest enemies, in this movies, which is a huge upgrade to the two generic poachers of last film.

However, the film does have it flaws, as it is a typical outcast goes to save a camp story done in past movies like Ernest Goes to Camp, and this is not going to be of interest for those who grew up watching the Woody Woodpecker cartoons of old, but this is a good movie for kids and a way to introduce them to the mischievous woodpecker.

This might go down as the worst movie of the year. I personally didn't find a single joke funny and I thought that the characters were at best bland and uninteresting and at worst insanely annoying.

This movie is without any doubt made for kids aged 5-10 but in my opinion a movie shouldn't get a free pass just because it's made for kids. This is just mindless entertainment for kids with a very basic message.

I also thought the acting extremely poor and I don't think there was a single good performance in it. This isn't just the child actors I'm talking about it extends to the adults, most of the dialogue is very emotionless.

Overall this movie was terrible and I would only recommend it to people who find ironic enjoyment out of bad movies.
