I do not want to give away too much about the movie, but it is kind of Roger Rabbit-ish in the way that it is live action with an animated Woody. Some of the gags are pretty silly; one involving beans comes to mind, but overall it's a decent introduction to those that have never seen a Woody Woodpecker cartoon before.
While it took my children a few viewings to watch the entire thing, it wasn't until after we watched some of his cartoons that they were interested in watching the whole movie. I would suggest going that route to get your children familiar with what they are about to see. Whereas I would love to tell you more about the movie, I will let you read the official word and keep reading to learn about how you can win a copy for your family.
Woody Woodpecker (voiced by Eric Bauza) is back with his signature laugh, wacky antics and wisecracks in his first ever live-action/animated film. Woody must protect his forest home from Lance Walters (Timothy Omundson), who starts building his dream mansion in the forest with his son, Tommy (Graham Verchere), and fiancĂ©e, Vanessa (Thaila Ayala). To make matters worse, Woody must avoid the clutches of two grizzly poachers. With a series of crazy hijinks to sabotage their plans, Woody proves he’ll stop at nothing to defend his turf. Get ready for laughs in this hilarious comedy about everyone’s favorite woodpecker!
To help celebrate the upcoming release we have some fun activity sheets for your family to enjoy while waiting for Woody Woodpecker to play on your screen.
