A new Woody Woodpecker movie is being released straight to streaming on Netflix. Combining live action with CGI animation the slapstick comedy WOODY WOODPECKER GOES TO CAMP flies onto the streaming service April 12, 2024. In this movie, after getting kicked out of the forest, Woody thinks he's found a forever home at Camp Woo Hoo — until an inspector threatens to shut down the camp.
Woody Woodpecker originally became popular from appearing in theatrical short films produced by the Walter Lantz Studio and distributed by Universal Pictures between 1940 and 1972. Lantz's theatrical shorts were licensed for broadcasting by ABC which aired them as the Woody Woodpecker Show in 1957 & 1958. The Woody Woodpecker Show then went into syndication being broadcast by local tv stations into the 1980s. Brand new cartoons were produced for a Fox Kids series that ran on Saturday mornings from 1999 - 2002. MeTV has acquired the television broadcasting rights for the original 1940-1972 Lantz cartoons and now airs them as The Woody Woodpecker Show.
Universal Pictures produced Woody Woodpecker: The Movie for a theatrical release in 2017 but instead opted to have it released exclusively on Netflix in 2018 and later offered on home video instead. Based upon the popularity of Woody Woodpecker: The Movie, Netflix authorized the production of a sequel, WOODY WOODPECKER GOES TO CAMP as a Netflix Original Movie exclusive to the streaming service. While technically, a sequel the new film's story and cast are not connected to the original film.

I was a bit shocked during a trip to Universal Orlando Resort that my kids had no clue who Woody Woodpecker was. I'd watched more cartoons featuring that mischievous little bird than I can count as a kid myself but the character hasn't received much attention for the last couple of decades. So I was excited to find out that Woody Woodpecker was making a comeback in an all-new movie being released straight to Cable On Demand, Digital Download, and DVD on February 6, 2018.
Woody Woodpecker was created in 1940 by Walter Lantz as a cartoon short that was shown in movie theaters until it became a television show in 1957. "The Woody Woodpecker Show" has been broadcast in over 150 territories across the globe and in 105 languages in the more than 75 years since the cartoons first began airing on television. Generations of kids have known the unforgettable laugh of the little red-headed bird who is forever pecking his way out of trouble. Now a new film that blends live action and CGI animation is bringing back the wild adventures of this wacky woodpecker.
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment kindly sent us the movie in advance of its official release date to enjoy for a family movie night. Both my son and daughter were intrigued to learn more about this character that I had hyped up to them since we ran across him while wandering around Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando Resort. There were plenty of giggles filling our living room while viewing Woody Woodpecker's antics in this film about a crazy turf war between the prankster bird and a big city lawyer who wants to tear down Woody's home to build a mansion with a lake view.
Directed by Alex Zamm (Inspector Gadget 2, The Little Rascals Save the Day), WOODY WOODPECKER is rated PG for action scenes, rude humor and language. Though it has a PG rating, from our experience viewing it there really didn't seem to be anything as a parent I'd find concerning or objectionable about letting a child of any age watch the film. WOODY WOODPECKER is a nice movie that preschoolers, grade school kids and tweens will enjoy watching along with mom and dad for a fun family movie night.
The movie stars Timothy Omundson (Galavant, Supernatural, Psych), Thaila Ayala (Rio Heat), Graham Verchere (Fargo), Jordana Largy (Monster Trucks) and Eric Bauza (The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water) as the voice of Woody Woodpecker.

While engaging in this turf war, Woody must also avoid the clutches of two grizzly poachers. Will Woody's crazy hijnks sabotage Lance's mansion and foil the poachers? You'll be laughing along with Woody's trademark laugh as you find out!
