Woody Woodpecker has had multiple series, games and spin-offs over the years, but this week it has trended again because Netflix added a new animated movie of the character to its catalog.
The iconic woodpecker was created by Walter Lantz, with a mischievous and charismatic personality known for his distinctive laugh and playful antics. His first appearance was in the short film “Knock Knock” in 1940.
Now, we have seen him again in the family comedy directed by Jonathan A. Rosenbaum and produced by the streaming platform. The story is packed with adventures, introspective moments and a bit of drama.
Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp is the Netflix’s most-watched movie
“Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp” is the new animated movie on Netflix that has managed to surpass all original platform productions and become the No. 1 worldwide, with thousands of views.
The title premiered on April 12th and according to the metrics site Flix Patrol, it has taken over other trends such as the documentary “What Jennifer Did” and the Spanish rom-com “Love, Divided”.
The story portrays the iconic character after his expulsion from the forest. However, Woody believes he has found a new home at Camp Woo Hoo, until an inspector threatens to shut it down.
Eric Bauza, known for lending his voice to productions like the video game “DuckTales: Remastered” and the series “Ben 10: Omniverse”, brings Woody Woodpecker to life. However, he was not alone, as this is a hybrid film.
This means it includes both animated moments and characters, as well as live-action actors, which add the necessary touch of reality to the project. Among the most notable are Mary-Louise Parker and Chloe De Los Santos.
