Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp

I'm not that familiar with the Woody Woodpecker franchise so if I state some inaccuracies with the characters. Woody Woodpecker has been kicked out of his forest. Finding solace in Camp Woo Hoo, he soon helps the camp overcome obstacles and soon uncovers a plot to get rid of the camp itself.

This is an average movie all around- the presentation is acceptable, the characters are likeable enough, CGI is surprisingly decent and Woody Woodpecker is appealing. I would've wished for the villain to be more menacing but he's slimy enough to root against him. I was initially not bought into Woody's character. I found him annoying and arrogant but he does become a more likable character later on.

Overall, good quality fun for the whole family. Nothing too special, more of a disposable movie dare I say. Recommended for ages 4-10. No suggestive material or serious violence throughout.

Woody gets annoyed by a brash social influencer doing a production nearby. He causes havoc and drives him away. For all the destruction, the park banishes him. He finds a new home in Camp Woo Hoo next door. He befriends young camper Maggie. Maggie's mother is camp owner Angie (Mary-Louise Parker). They get into a battle with a rival camp and escaped criminal Buzz Buzzard.

This is a sequel to the 2017 Woody Woodpecker movie. I doubt it's necessary to see the first movie. It's live action with cartoon characters. It looks cheap on the level of Netflix and it's not trying to be more than that. First I don't like the design of Woody. He reminds me of the worst of his animation. It's definitely not the classic cartoons. On the other hand, Buzz looks fine. As for the rest, it's a lot of weak kiddie movie story and forgettable characters. Even Mary-Louise Parker is struggling in this one.

The movie was quite average overall. The CGI quality was acceptable, but it didn't particularly stand out. However, the voice castings for the characters were impressive and managed to capture the essence of the original Woody the Woodpecker series.

While some of the jokes missed the mark, it's important to note that the film is primarily targeted at children, but adults can still find entertainment value in it. The storyline was fairly basic and lacked depth, following a predictable and straightforward trajectory. The pacing of the movie was notably brisk from the outset, which may have contributed to the feeling of it being a bit rushed.

In terms of the performances, the actors did reasonably well, although, at times, the acting came across as somewhat overexaggerated. The musical scores were nothing out of the ordinary and did little to elevate the overall viewing experience.

In summary, the movie had a low-budget feel to it, but despite its shortcomings, it still manages to warrant a modest recommendation.

Only reason I rated it so high is because I'm just happy to have another Woody Woodpecker movie.

The first one (2017) was a joy to watch but this one being a "sequel" to that was an extreme let down. Didn't follow the original story, didn't have any of the original characters which I really wanted to see. Introduced wayy too many new animated characters and they can understand woody?!? No one could understand him in the 1st one (2017) but now they all just magically can?

Really disappointed in this movie, it had the potential to be amazing but had bad and lazy production/directing. Really wish this was a real sequel that kept the story line going from the first movie. This one (2024) would have made more sense as a prequel and a sorry one at that.

Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp is a Netfix exclusive movie starring the wacky woodpecker from the era of classic cartoons, and serves as a sequel to that horrible live action film from 2017.

After causing too much chaos, the ranger tells Woody to leave his home in the forest until he learns about teamwork. He finds it in Camp Woo Hoo, a STEAM camp (STEAM being short for science,technology, engineering, art, and math) and befriends the campers. It is about time for the Wilderness Games, an event where Woo Hoo loses to Camp Hoo Rah, and this year, the camp counselor, Zane Mallard, has decided to team up with Buzz Buzzard to get Camp Woo Hoo shut down, although Buzz is wanting to find the gold left by an ancestor of the camp counselors.

This movie is mostly for the kids, as it is basically Woody learning an important life lesson while going into cartoon battles. An improvement from its awful predecessor is that it actually includes Buzz Buzzard and Wally Walrus, two of Woody's greatest enemies, in this movies, which is a huge upgrade to the two generic poachers of last film.

However, the film does have it flaws, as it is a typical outcast goes to save a camp story done in past movies like Ernest Goes to Camp, and this is not going to be of interest for those who grew up watching the Woody Woodpecker cartoons of old, but this is a good movie for kids and a way to introduce them to the mischievous woodpecker.
