I loved Woody Woodpecker as a child and since my 4 year old loves Tom & Jerry & Bugs Bunny, I fugured she might like this too. I was so right! She loves this DVD set. I was not worried it might look grainy or have bad sound but it is great. I had doubts at first because of the price but you get three DVD's and since she loves it, it's so worth the money. I'm also happy we can watch it together and equally enjoy it.

I enjoyed this product very much. Good especially for kids. The cartoons from the old days are much much better than now.

Others have been very efficient at noting which cartoons are included, and several have mentioned the important information that "Digitally re-mastered" doesn't mean the same thing as "restored". I've always been a fan of the later "Woody's" so for me this collection was an essential buy. But what I thought was most intriguing was the additional bonus features, extensive and informative tutorials about the inner workings of the studio, hosted by Walter Lantz. These were a terrific exploration of old-fashioned cartoon production, and were a great instructional guide to those who have an interest. Some of the early Fleischer compilations have fascinating documentaries, but the special features here are worth the price of the set, and the cartoons "Alley to Bali" and "Under the Counter Spy" are wonderful shorts to own for collectors.

What's not to like about Woody Woodpecker?
Even though volume 2 contains the Paul J Smith efforts who came in on budget, but short on comedy,these toons are a hoot. My kids, who have only seen a few Woodpeckerss, loved this set. Watching some of the episodes, I remembered these played at lunch-time during summers. Ahh, what memories.
The set includes 75 cartoons starring Woody, Oswald, chilly Willy, Andy Panda, Buzz Buzzard, and Lucky rabbit. We can't forget Knothead and Splinter either. Walter Lantz is remembered for many things, and Woddy is just one of them. If you don't like one cartoon, just skip ahead, you're sure to find one that keeps you laughing. Tex Avery isn't too bad either!
The special features include TV pilots, a TV show episode, and 'behind the scenes'.
All worth the money.

This is the Woody Woodpecker I remember from when I was a child in the 80's. I know these episodes are older, but they are the one's I used to watch on the FOX channel when I was little. I love them and they brought back so many memories. My favorite is "Witch Craftey". I remember watching this one with my brother when we were little and we laughed so hard we cried. I was excited to see it in this collection. Though not as funny now as it was when I was a child, it did provide a few laughs, but most important, made me relive my child hood for a little bit.
