Woody Woodpecker Theatrical Shorts Remastered Uncut & Uncensored Complete AC
Woody Woodpecker is an animated acorn woodpecker who appeared in theatrical short films produced by the Walter Lantz animation studio and distributed by Universal Pictures. Though not the first of the wacky characters that became popular in the 1940s, Woody Woodpecker remains the most admirable of the type.
Woody was created in 1940 by Walter Lantz and storyboard artist Ben "Bugs" Hardaway, who had previously laid the groundwork for two other screwball characters, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, at the Warner Bros. cartoon studio the late 1930s. Woody's character and design would evolve over the years, from an insane bird with an unusually garish design to a more refined looking acting character in the vein of the later Chuck Jones version of Bugs Bunny. Woody was originally voiced by prolific voice actor Mel Blanc, who was succeed by Ben Hardaway and later by Grace Stafford, wife of Walter Lantz. Woody's appearance was made on his first entry on the Andy Panda Cartoon, Knock-Knock in 1940.
Lantz produced theatrical cartoons longer than most of his contemporaries, and Woody Woodpecker remained a staple of Universal's release schedule until 1972, when Lantz finally shut down his studio. The character has been revived since then only special productions and occasions, save for one new Saturday morning cartoon, The New Woody Woodpecker Show, for the Fox Network in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
Woody Woodpecker cartoons were first broadcast on television in 1957 under the title The Woody Woodpecker Show, which featured Lantz cartoons bookended by new footage of Woody and live-action footage of Lantz. Woody has motion picture star on Hollywood Walk of Fame on 7000 Hollywood Boulevard. He also made a cameo alongside many other famous cartoon characters in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Several Woody cartoons produced in 1940, 1941, 1951, and 1952 carry no director credit; Walter Lantz claims to have directed these shorts himself.
