10/10
Underrated MasterPiece Of a forgotten Golden Era
4 October 2023
I'm not sure why they're are so many troll reviews of this on this site(look at the accounts) like 3 of them were made to downvote this show.

This hidden gem cameout during the end of the fox kid's life span so it's no wonder it's not as fondly as remembered but the quality of the show speaks for itself, First of this show LOOKS AMAZING has great animation some of the best you'll see for a tv production with some episodes almost being movie quality in fluidity. 2nd show is freaking hilarious man I wanna give a specific shoutout to the guy who voices wally walrus because is screams of agony rival tom from tom and jerry that sh! T had me dying of laughter. But yeah the 90's was chalked full of classic cartoons from the 40-50s getting new and innovation reinventions from the 90s casper cartoon to, batman tas, "Th New Woody Woodpecker Show" fits right in. Every character in this show is downright hilarious from woody's bum, freeloader attitude on life, to miss meanie's constant agonizing temper tantrums to Winnie's more sincere and cute demeanor, there's an episode where buzz buzzard scams her out of a car and she goes to court for it and it's hilarious. Buzzard was also voiced by Mark Hamil who just sound like a version of his joker voice. There was also woody's niece and nephew who appaeared in the comics, they remind of the the angry beavers(1997) little sisters who acted much the same way with there fascination on comics and adventure. Also this show is nothing like animanics or tiny toons not sure where that comparison came from not even the same style of writing, especially animanics which leaned more into satire and pop culture references galore, this show was not like that, just because a cartoon is wacky in the 90's doesn't mean its copying animanics or ren and stimpy wtf, woody is a golden age cartoon character that predates all of those those, if anything they're ripping of him. The New Woody the Woodpecker sticks closer the original shorts tone and humor wise which is what made it so great in the first place.

Keep in mind I just recently rewatched this show and hadn't seen it since it last aired on fox kids/abc family when I was a kid. It's been so long I know and this show like many 90s cartoons proved the creative strength of the medium before the tv animation industry hit the fan, you won't get cartoons like this anymore unfortunately a relic of a 2nd golden age that won't be forgotten.
