O Novo Pica-Pau

One of many attempts by Fox Kids to recapture the success of Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures after the Warner Bros. produced properties relocated to Kids WB with the launch of The WB network, The Woody Woodpecker Show is the Animaniacs formula but using Walter Lantz's cartoon stable produced for Universal in the 1940s(with the exception of Andy Panda who I don't recall ever appearing on the show) with original material produced by Universal Cartoon Studios(who also gave us a plentathra of Balto, Land Before Time, and American Tail DTV movies). Much like Fox Kids' other attempts to recapture Animaniacs success, Toonsylvania and The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper, The Woody Woodpecker Show copies the format from its inspirational source, but can't match the wit,writing, and timing. Technically speaking the show is well animated with fluid motion and decent character designs, but the humor is much more scattershot with some gags eliciting a chuckle while others fall flat. In terms of shows that tried to tap into the zeitgeist that gave rise to Animaniacs and Tiny Toons, The Woody Woodpecker Show is nowhere near as good as its inspiration but it's also not as bad as The Wacky World of Tex Avery. The show does have a few moments of humor here and there, but if superior products are readily available you're not missing much.

Of course I don't think it is as good as "The Woody Woodpecker Show", which is a classic. But I love this show, I used to watch it every day I got home from primary school all the way up to year 7. Some of the episodes are a little on the corny side and some go a little too fast, but the animation is of fluid, colourful quality, there is a fun theme tune and some very interesting gags. I also like the characters and the voice acting. I have always liked Woody, and he is great fun, especially with his iconic laugh, which I still imitate, and Wally the Walrus was funny. I remember having a spot spot for that adorable little penguin Chilly Willy too.

Overall, I enjoy this show, it isn't as good as the 1957 classic show, but it is a considerable improvement over most cartoons airing now. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This show is pretty good! The animation is fluid and can be fast paced sometimes, the voice acting and line delivery are all great. There are problems like how the characters and plot can feel a bit "Been There Done That" with other shows, but it's overall a good show.

I love this show. It is beautifully coloured. And most importantly, it shows the best appearance and voice of the best Winnie Woodpecker. She's my favourite, as well as Woody. Too bad in this one they are just best friends instead of boyfriend and girlfriend. But I like to think that they are. This version of Winnie should be shown more.

I literally watch this on YouTube kids and I like it. The characters are neat despite woody and Wally's annoying voices. But at least Wally's wasn't as bad as the goes to camp film which I gave a 4/10. My fav episodes were the pirate and the vending machine. In my opinion, title cards are pretty underrated, they give the mood of what you're going to watch. They have some great title cards even though they don't give the mood but they are still an A-. This show deserves more attention as if you're a big woody woodpecker fan, you would love it at best and find it mediocre at worst. And in that vending machine episode, there is ugly woody which looks pretty meemy to me.
