- WOODY WOODPECKER
Another classic cartoon character looks to be getting the
big screen treatment as The Hollywood Reporter brings word that a Woody
Woodpecker feature film is in development from Universal Pictures and
Illumination Entertainment.
The character, a troublemaking woodpecker with an iconic
laugh, first appeared in one of Universal's "Andy Panda" shorts in
1940. He was then voiced by animation legend Mel Blanc. It wasn't long before
Woody became the star, his cartoon legacy vastly overshadowing that of Andy
Panda.
Blades of Glory writers John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky are
said to be preparing a script and there's no word yet on whether or not the
film is planned as a full CGI feature or a CGI/live action blend.
