Hollywood, CA–In an enchanting twist that has left both young audiences and the young at heart chirping with delight, “Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp” has pecked its way to the top spot on Netflix! Bottom line – it’s fun – and likable. This feathery fable of mischief and mayhem, a harmonious blend of live-action and animation, resurrects the timeless charm of the iconic cartoon character, Woody Woodpecker, in a brand-new escapade.

Rosenbaum and featuring an ensemble cast led by the versatile Mary-Louise Parker, the affable Josh Lawson, the spirited Chloe De Los Santos, and the resourceful Kershawn Theodore, the film takes viewers on a heartwarming journey to the great outdoors.
As Woody Woodpecker finds himself evicted from his forest home, he stumbles upon the cheerful chaos of Camp Woo Hoo. The camp, bursting with the innocent laughter of children and the untamed antics of wildlife, becomes a beacon of hope for our feathered friend. This unexpected triumph on Netflix is a modern homage to the slapstick classics that once dominated the screens with a whirlwind of comedy.
The narrative unspools as Woody, with his trademark cackle and untamed zest for life, must navigate the trials and tribulations of camp life, all the while dodging the schemes of a camp inspector determined to close down his newfound paradise. With a delightful mix of humor and visual gags that transcend generational divides, the movie paints a vibrant picture of friendship and resilience. The always great, Mary-Louise Parker, as the compassionate and somewhat quirky camp leader, brings a depth of emotion to the story, reminding us of the importance of finding our place in the world. Josh Lawson, playing the earnest yet clumsy assistant, invites bursts of laughter with his well-timed pratfalls and heartening naivete. Chloe De Los Santos, as the plucky camper with a plan, and Kershawn Theodore, as her loyal sidekick, provide the perfect counterbalance to the adult cast, weaving their youthful energy into the fabric of the film.
Written by the dynamic duo of Stephen Mazur and Cory Edwards, “Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp” strikes a chord with its whimsical storytelling and endearing characters. The film’s ability to capture the essence of the Woody Woodpecker many grew up with, while introducing him to a new generation, is a testament to its thoughtful production. Produced by Jon Kuyper under the banner of Universal 1440 Entertainment, in collaboration with Universal, the movie encapsulates the spirit of its character – untamed, unexpected, and undeniably entertaining. It’s the kind of film that resonates with a simplicity that is often lost in the high-stakes dramas and action-packed blockbusters of today. It beckons us back to a time when joy was found in the simple things – a dash through the woods, a clever ruse, or the infectious laughter of a cartoon bird. For parents, it’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane; for children, it’s an introduction to the slapstick silliness that shaped the comedies of yesteryear.
