Universal 1440 Entertainment sent me a copy of Woody Woodpecker to review on my blog, plus one to giveaway! All thoughts about this title are my own and have not been influenced.
About Woody Woodpecker:
Woody Woodpecker 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 (Omundson), who starts building his dream mansion in the forest with his son, Tommy (Verchere), and fiancée, Vanessa (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!
Take a look:
My Thoughts:
I have to say I was quite surprised. As a little girl I was a big Woody Woodpecker fan and watched it everyday. My kids have probably seen a few episodes when growing up, but have long since forgotten. At 14 and 12 it took a bit of convincing to watch this with me, but they were surprised as well that they liked it. The film is a blend of live action and GGI Animation. The story of wealthy folks coming to build on land that is inhabited by animals is not a new one. That being said, I do love the message that we must protect our land and our animals so I don’t think this is a theme that can be over-played especially with kids. I’m a sucker for kids movies that teach lessons and that are fun. This is a fun watch for a family movie night!
