The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Golden Age Collection packages together 25 classic theatrical short cartoons from Walter Lantz Productions.
Unlike other collections that package shorts together in the order of their release, the shorts collected in The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Golden Age Collection are not featured in any particular order in the collection. There’s no reason or rhym to the order in which we’re watching everybody’s favorite wacky red-headed bird.
Not every short includes Woody in them. Those not featuring Woody include the likes of Chilly Willy, Maggie and Sam, Pepito Chickeeto, Gabby Gator, Maw and Paw, Hickory, Dickory, and Doc. There’s plenty of side-splitting fun to be had in these cartoons. You’ll find some of the wildest antics in animation history and a number of bonus features.
