My Thoughts
In this new, live action film, Woody Woodpecker was just minding his own business when builders show up to chop down the forest where he lives. Woody can't let it happen, and sets out to stop the builders. Along the way, he befriends the son of the property owners. Woody pulls off a bunch of crazy stunts to delay the building, all why avoiding the poachers who are trying to catch him.
This was a great movie and brought back a lot of wonderful memories. I loved being able to share this iconic figure with my children. Having the cartoon character blended with live actors made it even more interesting. This is a great film that people of all ages will enjoy. It's the perfect choice for family movie night. You can grab a copy of the DVD for yourself in stores nationwide or online at Amazon.
