MOVIE REVIEW: woody woodpecker

Hello,
Good afternoon everyone and happy new month 🌿
My first time posting here stay with me, let me share with you this interesting movie i cant get over for years now😊
Woody Woodpecker (also known as Woody Woodpecker: The Movie) is a 2017 American live-action animated slapstick comedy film directed by Alex Zamm, loosely based on the cartoon character of the same name and produced by Universal 1440 Entertainment in co-production with Universal Animation Studios and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film stars Timothy Omundson, Graham Verchere, Jordana Largy and Thaila Ayala, and features Eric Bauza as the voice of Woody Woodpecker. The film's plot follows Woody protecting his forest from a real estate lawyer planning to build an investment house in his habitat.

The film tells the story of a greedy businessman who threatens to destroy the Pinegrove Forest of Pennsylvania because he believes that “big projects are the next big thing.” The only woodland creature standing in his way? Our titular hero, a fast-talking, mischievous woodpecker who teams up with the businessman’s son to help melt dad’s cold heart and save the forest. As is the case with most middling kid’s movies, Woody Woodpecker relies less on plot than on lazy slapstick and phoned-in performances from human actors. Still, Woody Woodpecker has a solid message about conservation and brings Woody back to his roots as a havoc-wreaking weirdo. He’s basically Edward Abbey with ADHD and that kinda works.

This is my best part, he met a trap just so you know, he surpasses.

Oh oh press that ON button 😂

Historically, there’s little debate over the fact that Woody Woodpecker is an icon in animation. Sure, he may never have been on the level of transcendent legends like Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse but he was a prominent and beloved figure in the Golden Age of animation. The character first began to appear in cartoons in the late 1930s and his distinct voice (and laugh) along with his slightly unhinged, screwball sensibilities quickly made him popular with kids.

Yet Woody faded from the public consciousness. While his animated contemporaries, including the Looney Tunes and the Disney menagerie, were able to remain relevant, Woody had wandered off into the wilderness by the late 1970s. Eager to retain IP, Warner Bros. foolishly tried to revamp the wild and crazy bird as a mild-mannered protagonist trying his best to do good in the world. This did not work and Woody more or less retired to drink grub-garnished martinis.

Why return now? The most plausible answer is margins. A decade ago, making a live-action movie with an animated main character was debilitatingly expensive. It isn’t anymore. The movie cost roughly $10 million to make. Compare that to the $125 million that went into Boss Baby. Sure, the two films will have very different ROIs, but Woody Woodpecker will represent small win created without much risk. If it made zero dollars it would have been a minor right down — not even worth mentioning for a studio head. And the film had and has real upside. If it rises up the on-demand charts, Warner Bros. will be looking at proof that the character still has legs (or wings or what have you).

Bestie 😊
The movie might be best understood as a reboot beta test or as a trial balloon. How do you bring an old character back into the mainstream? The answer used to be, “throw a ton of money around.” The answer may now be, “run a trial and see how it goes.” Thanks to advancements in technology, that’s possible. This represents the best possible news for Atom Ant, Auggie Doggy, Huckleberry Hound, and Top Cat, who might get to cause some low-budget chaos in the real world.
