- Woody
Woodpecker
- Premiered on the silver screen in
(1940)
-
Created by Walter Lantz in 1940.
- As Lantz used to tell the story of Woody
Woodpecker, he and his wife were on their honeymoon at a lakeside
cottage when Woody first pecked his way into their lives.
"We kept hearing this knock, knock, knock on the roof," Lantz told
The Los Angeles Times in 1992. "So I went out and looked, and
here's this woodpecker drilling holes in the shingles."
Lantz's wife, Gracie, suggested adapting the bird as a cartoon
character and Lantz wisely took his bride's advice. Woody appeared
in short films throughout the 40s and 50s, and in 1957, the
Kellogg's company repackaged these cartoons into The Woody
Woodpecker Show. Lantz hosted the show himself, demonstrating tips
and techniques of the animation trade between
cartoons.
