There are 3 cartoons on this tape that are not in the 20-Vol. set: Puny Express (1951), Stage Hoax (1952) and Woodpecker Wanted (1965). I have no idea about the transfer quality of these cartoons, however.
Eight Woody Woodpecker cartoons set in the Wild West
2002-05-16
I heard Woody Woodpecker described as the most politically incorrect cartoon character of all time, but that claim was probably made well before the creation of Eric Cartman. The legend is that Walter Lantz was on his honeymoon on Sherwood Lake in California and a noisy woodpecker kept pecking on the roof of their room. When his new bride would not let him shoot it, Lantz ended up turning the pesky little bird into a character. Woody Woodpecker made his first appearance in a 1940 Andy Panda cartoon "Knock, Knock," and the rest was history, with Lantz drawing the cartoons and his wife doing the voice for Woody and his annoying little laugh. This 51-minute video has eight cartoons all of which have a western flair: "Puny Express" (1951), "Stage Hoax" (1952), "Hot Noon" (1953), "Pistol Packin' Woodpecker" (1960), "Panhandle Scandal" (1959), "Wild and Woody" (1948), "Woodpecker Wanted" (1965), and "Short in the Saddle" (1963). You either love Woody or hate him (I will only admit to disinterest in the context of this review), but these are certainly representative of his cartoons, which I have always thought of as crossing Bugs Bunny with Daffy Duck and given them mondo amounts of speed.
