Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia"The Woody Woodpecker Show" first aired on ABC on October 3, 1957, taking over a slot previously occupied by the first half hour of a newly-shortened "Mickey Mouse Club." The show, which aired weekly on Thursdays, combined existing cartoons with new live-action footage in segments called 'A Moment with Walter Lantz.' These segments (directed by Jack Hannah, a former Disney employee) offered viewers an inside look at the animation process and story development. The show was syndicated after its first year on ABC and ran until 1966. The original live-action segments were later replaced with "Woody's Newsreel" and "Around The World with Woody," which repurposed Universal Newsreels footage with commentary from Walter Lantz and Woody Woodpecker.

The woodpecker that made the childhood of many unparalleled!
I am very fond of this Great Cartoon, Woody Woodpecker was a Character that although he is no longer so relevant today, at least you should appreciate what came before and how animation worked at that time, this Mythical Woodpecker was born from a problem with a Real bird that Walter Lantz had, the creator of the series, his wife advised him to create a caricature of the animal, and thus Woody Woodpecker was born!
Although it is practically Bugs Bunny in the body of a Bird, both stand out in different things, Woody was even more Crazy and Energetic than bugs, although that is not relevant because both characters are equally good, Woody's Character in his In the beginning he was someone mean and with a bizarre and somewhat disturbing design, but over the years he became the Animal that we all know and love.
The animation in this series was quite good almost to the Grade of MGM or Warner Bros at that time, it was detailed, the backgrounds were impeccable and the movements were fluid, the Character Designs, although at first they were bizarre and somewhat ugly, with As time changed and became more Pleasing to the Eye, the original series dropped in quality in the mid-50s, and although it was still good animation, it was quite inferior and somewhat simplistic compared to the Original Animation.
The Music was also Good, Frank Marsales composed the First appearance of Woody and then some Composers followed him, the music was always the same but it always had that tone of joy and fun that we all enjoyed!.
The voice acting was pretty good, at first Mel Blanc did Woody's voice and even gave him his Biggest Feature, his iconic laugh!, then Lantz's Wife did Woody's Voice and the rest is not relevant, the Other characters also have good voices, although Woody is the one who stands out the most in this regard.
In itself, Woody Woodpecker may not be as relevant today but he was a somewhat influential character who gave laughter and fun to our parents and grandparents, and also to us! He had an Excellent Humor and was Easily visible due to the Charisma and Sympathy of the Characters.
In Conclusion, an excellent cartoon that Marked thousands of Childhoods with its Great and Healthy Humor, a funny Cartoon with many good qualities, great characters and impressive animation and music, the series par Excellence of Walter Lantz and in general, of all Universal Studios!.
