	Woody Woodpecker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Woody Woodpecker is an animated cartoon character, an anthropomorphic woodpecker who appeared in short films produced by the Walter Lantz animation studio and distributed by Universal Studios.
		Woody was created in 1940 by storyboard artist Ben "Bugs" Hardaway, who had previously laid the groundwork for two other "screwball" characters, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, at the Schlesinger/Warner Bros. studio in 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 and acting character in the vein of the later Chuck Jones version of Bugs Bunny.

		Prior to the appearance of Woody Woodpecker, Walter Lantz was still releasing a variety of one shot films, hewed to the fairy tale or nursery rhyme genre.
		Woody has been modernized well 1970’s style anyway, being given a dune buggy to motor about in the desert, meaning no artistic background was needed.

		While the Woodpecker would be Walter Lantz’s bread and butter for the rest of his career, he was not immune to the inevitabilities that all cartoon production facilities would face as the decade drew on.
		While trying to shove Woody through the meat grinder, his own tail is slipped in by the bird, and the resulting facial expressions of the wolf as he continues cranking away elicit an almost morbid humor, saved only by the absurdity of the situation.
		Woody is walking along the street and stops to read a “flip” sign advertising various hairstyles in a barbershop window.

	Woody Woodpecker (1941) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Shrewdly aware of the woodpecker's star potential, producer Walter Lantz cast him in his first solo cartoon, WOODY WOODPECKER.
		Undoubtedly the highlight is in the beginning when Woody sings "Everybody Thinks I'm Crazy." The lyrics aren't sensationally funny, but Darrel Calker's jaunty music, Blanc's hilarious singing, and the comical animation of Woody's strutting make this a showstopper.
		Although Lantz continued to produce fine Woody Woodpecker cartoons for some time, I feel the woodpecker lost a little pizazz when Blanc was replaced.

	Woody Woodpecker: Escape from Buzz Buzzard Park Review - PlayStation 2
		Woody Woodpecker: Escape From Buzz Buzzard Park, a DreamCatcher and Universal release for the PlayStation2, is an arcade romp through a variety of three-dimensional locations.
		Curious, Woody approaches the building and seems to get stuck in a twitching frenzy (graphical stability problems, actually) where both he and the world shakes from side-to-side.
		Most of the time it is in the follow mode, but at times – particularly when Woody is required to move across the screen – the camera angle takes up a vantage point that makes it impossible to see where you are about to jump.

	IGN: Woody Woodpecker Racing Review
		Konami's Woody Woodpecker Racing tries to do some new and unique things, but none of it manages to bring anything new to the genre.
		While just having the Woody characters might be enough to please diehard fans of the bird, most will likely get turned off by the fact that the game is frustratingly difficult.
		As if the disappointing gameplay isn't enough, Woody Woodpecker Racing lacks any visual flare that might have been able to save it from the realm of mediocrity.

	KidScreen Magazine - Licensing Diary: Woody Woodpecker
		Universal's decision to dust off Woody's wings is consistent with the current trend among studios of reviving classic cartoon properties.
		Lucky for Woody fans, Universal felt he was blessed with possessing those qualities-a multigenerational, pansexual and international appeal-that cause studio execs to anoint a property with the "classic" adjective.
		The worldwide appeal of Woody to licensees and fans is all the more impressive, considering that most of the original cartoons were never translated into the language of the country in which they were being shown, a phenomenon Cleveland attributes in part to Woody's laugh.
