The 1957 Woody Woodpecker TV episode . . .

. . . which began with this 1943 theatrically-released cartoon included a two-minute introduction by "Host" Walter Lance, Woody's creator/producer/sometimes story writer/sometimes animator. Unlike his evil namesake, Walt Dizzy, the better Walt's surname--L-a-n-t-z--is not even accepted by this site's spell checker. Disc 2 of "The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Cartoon Collection" titles Walt's intro to THE DIZZY ACROBAT as "Animating Woody." To summarize, if a person becomes King Rat by beginning with Mick the Mouse, then branching out to blob up Grimm Fairy Tales, Hans Christian Anderson stories, Davy Crockett, amusement parks, German castles, princesses, the M-puppets, Night Line, ESPN, ABC, African Animals, Star Wars, the Marvel Universe, chain-smoking and the once esteemed P-i-x-a-r studio, the spellchecker will always remember your name.
