My little boy is five, he thinks this movie is great. Which is good for him and me. Unfortunately, this isn't one of those movies that caters for adults too. You will likely only find it funny or entertaining if you are five (or near five).

On a side note, I noticed a couple people voted this movie as a seven. I worry for these people. How are you scaling this stuff? This is why IMDB has to be taken with a pinch of salt these days, since streaming, the scores are not good.

Anyway, this is a movie with woody woodpecker and the chick you used to be hot in 'Weeds'. She's sixty now you know? Still looks pretty good.

Am I at the limt yet? Oh yeah, there now - bye!

Peace.

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.

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.

This might go down as the worst movie of the year. I personally didn't find a single joke funny and I thought that the characters were at best bland and uninteresting and at worst insanely annoying.

This movie is without any doubt made for kids aged 5-10 but in my opinion a movie shouldn't get a free pass just because it's made for kids. This is just mindless entertainment for kids with a very basic message.

I also thought the acting extremely poor and I don't think there was a single good performance in it. This isn't just the child actors I'm talking about it extends to the adults, most of the dialogue is very emotionless.

Overall this movie was terrible and I would only recommend it to people who find ironic enjoyment out of bad movies.

This movie is good for kids under 10

I watched this with my son and got me it was excruciating to sit through though I did for my son. It was so predictable and lazy. The animation was super lazy and u can tell the actors were trying to act to nothing visually in their scenes until post production.

The way they made choices with scenes which were perfect in animation but didn't work in reality were just awful. They didn't really even make it a semi continuation from the first one.

In the first one you didn't know if they could understand woody or not. In this one he spoke to people and just caused unnecessary chaos and havoc in a way that seemed like the studio was more under pressure to produce something rather than making things work together and better.

This movie was not anywhere close to the cartoons I remember watching as a kid. Yes woody was a trouble maker but only after he had been disturbed or bothered by the villain.

This movie (in my opinion) was a really bad waste of time and money for the film studio.

The writers were so very lazy this seems like a low scale team (possibly grade school kids) wrote this during the writers strike and were paid in robux or vbucks.

I did not like the first movie Woody Woodpecker (2017), and thought it was an unfunny annoying at times kid's movie that felt like they were just trying to capitalize on the nostalgia of the character Woody Woodpecker, which is why I was confused on why there was a sequel movie being released seven years later on the streaming service Netflix; after watching, I will say that this sequel was bad, but It was at least better than the first with it feeling like there was effort put into it. The sequel movie Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp (2024) has a few entertaining moments, good CG 3D effects for Woody and other characters, the performances were good enough, and there were a few more funny moments in this than the first; the issues involve the by the numbers villain plot in finding gold at the camp, some immature humor that is expected for a movie like this, and random little moments that were not needed that could have been cut out of the scenes.

The main kid characters were not bad with ok performances, and each kid having their own quirk to them will help themselves and their side of the camp later in the film, but there are also other kids on the opposite side of the camp who are more aggressive and competitive who give an over-the-top performance; the camp counselor at Camp Woo Hoo is supportive and is trying to motivate her campers to believe in themselves to defeat the competition, while the counselor at Camp Hoo Rah is pushing his campers to defeat their opponents in intense ways. There is a whole thing going on in the story involving the founder of the camp, the gold he has hidden, and the feud between the two sides at the camp, though interesting, was just foreshadowing for upcoming events that involves how they find the gold and how to take care of a certain situation; this also just gives a reason for a side cartoon antagonist to come and try to sabotage things to get to it. Lastly, though one half of the camp had ok performances, and the other half had some over the top performances, they were likable enough and the interactions between them and Woody worked well with the CG.

The antagonist is a character named Buzz Buzzard, voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, who is trying to trick one of the counselors into helping him find the gold hidden at camp, which is a straightforward plot, but it mostly involves him failing at getting rid of Woody Woodpecker who is trying to help the campers that can be occasionally funny; there is also Wally Walrus voiced by Tom Kenny who is the inspector who could shut the camp down if there are any more damages or safety violations. Woody Woodpecker has an occasional funny moment with the CGI 3D effects on him and the other characters looking believable and like they are in each scene interacting off the human characters; the movie was a bit funnier than the first with there being an occasional joke and fourth wall break that did work with also slightly funny visuals, but there were, for the most part, awkward jokes that do not work and could have been cut out entirely.

The sequel movie Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp (2024) has a couple entertaining moments, good CG 3D effects for Woody and other characters, the performances were good enough, and there were a few more funny moments in this than the first; the issues involve the by the numbers villain plot in finding gold at the camp, and some awkward jokes and line of dialogue. Last thing I will say is that I thought this movie was going to be worse than the first, but it was not, but it still could have been better; you do not have to rush to Netflix to see this sequel, but for those who did not like the first movie, this is worth just one watch.

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.

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.

When I was little, I was captivated by popular cartoon series, including the adventures of this woodpecker. Therefore, when it was announced that there would be a live-action/animated slapstick comedy film featuring Woody Woodpecker, I eagerly anticipated its release, but..

This particular film fails to resonate with contemporary audiences, appealing neither to adults nor children. Its humor lacks depth, the acting appears unconvincing and at times exaggerated, and the story-line feels contrived, rendering it unsuitable for present-day viewers, in my opinion. It seems to cater more to existing fans rather than attracting new ones.

While it might have been entertaining in its time, the film falls short of contemporary standards. It could serve as a fallback option if you happen to have a surplus of free time and no other viewing alternatives, but it's not really a recommended choice for a discerning audience seeking engaging and serious content.

Despite attempting to convey a moral message, the film does so in a shallow manner. It's evident that there's room for improvement in the quality of animation and storytelling. Hopefully, they can enhance the depth and sophistication of their future animated films, delivering more impactful and resonant messages to their audience.

I'm one of the people who actually liked the first movie So, Depending if you liked the first movie or not, take my rating with a grain of salt. I've thought this was a fun film, I didn't like it as much as the first movie But it still has its moments And I think people who would like the first movie will definitely like this one, overall, it was a fun time, To some people, it might even be better than the first one! If you're a fan of woody woodpecker I recommend watching this. Yeah, sure Some of the plot points are a bit weird Specifically near the middle But I think it's still a good film..

The contrast to this movie and the 2017 one is not huge, but its enough to make a difference. This time around woodys voice is actually synched in with the animation so he is like he is supposed to be. He also gets his signature expression and the mamarisums that make him him, after too many violations woody is kicked out of the forrst because of course he is and down on his luck he discovers a camp, makes himself at home and meets maggie and her friends who he ultimatly helps. The other things I liked with this is that we get two other talking animated animals, a sheriff thats a walrus and a buzzard thats evil. Its a good kid friendly and family film that will sure to get some laughs and oveall its pretty fun.

One of the worst things I have ever seen. Red birds, black birds, walrus and a lot of bad bad actors, after being woken up by my 6 year old I was forced to endure the rest of this, terrible story, bad bad animation and just generally bad, steer clear of this if you value your sanity. Josh Lawson is rad though. Not even an insane amount of illegal substance would make this more bearable, I know because I've tried it, I've seen some good things in my day, like MASH and Dawsons Creek, and I've also seen some bad things, this is like the worst of the bad, but MASH on the other hand is pretty fine, so watch that and not this...

"Ha-ha-ha-HA-ha! Guess who's back in the pecking order?" - Woody Woodpecker

In Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp (2024), our favorite red-headed rascal returns, this time trading his forest antics for the structured chaos of Camp Woo Hoo. Directed by Jonathan Rosenbaum, the film attempts to blend live-action with CGI, aiming to introduce Woody to a new generation while rekindling nostalgia for long-time fans. Unfortunately, much like trying to roast marshmallows with a flamethrower, the execution leaves much to be desired.

The plot flutters around Woody being ousted from his forest home due to his disruptive behavior-apparently, even Mother Nature has her limits. Seeking refuge, he lands at Camp Woo Hoo, a summer camp teetering on the brink of closure. Here, Woody befriends a young camper named Maggie and her mother, Angie (played by Mary-Louise Parker), who runs the camp. Together, they face challenges from a rival camp and the nefarious Buzz Buzzard (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson), whose name suggests he missed his calling as a used car salesman.

The film's attempt to weave a narrative involving hidden gold, camp rivalries, and an inspector threatening to shut down the camp feels like a casserole of clichés-overcooked and lacking flavor. The subplot with Buzz Buzzard searching for hidden treasure adds a layer of predictability that even a metal detector couldn't salvage. It's as if the writers threw darts at a board of overused tropes and decided to use them all.

Visually, the CGI rendering of Woody is a mixed bag. While some scenes achieve a believable interaction between the animated bird and human characters, others falter, making Woody appear as though he's been poorly photoshopped into the frame. The inconsistency is jarring, much like finding a feather in your soup-unexpected and unwelcome. Buzz Buzzard's character design fares slightly better, but it's akin to putting a fresh coat of paint on a dilapidated cabin; it doesn't fix the underlying structural issues.

The humor, a crucial element for a character as zany as Woody, often misses the mark. The film oscillates between slapstick gags that might elicit a chuckle from the youngest viewers and awkward jokes that land with the grace of a bird flying into a closed window. Attempts at fourth-wall breaks and meta-humor feel forced, as if Woody is desperately pecking at the audience for validation. It's reminiscent of a stand-up comedian bombing on stage but continuing to tell the same joke, hoping repetition will eventually yield laughter.

Performance-wise, Mary-Louise Parker delivers a serviceable portrayal of Angie, though one can't help but wonder if she lost a bet to end up in this role. The child actors, including the character of Maggie, oscillate between endearing and wooden, perhaps taking inspiration from their avian co-star. The human characters lack depth, serving more as props for Woody's antics rather than fully realized individuals. It's akin to watching camp counselors go through the motions without any real enthusiasm-present but not engaged.

The film's pacing is erratic, with scenes dragging longer than a campfire story told by someone who forgot the punchline. The climactic moments lack tension, resolving conflicts with the ease of untying a loosely knotted shoelace. The resolution feels unearned, leaving the audience with the same sense of dissatisfaction as realizing your s'more is missing the chocolate.

In an era where family films have reached new heights in storytelling and animation, Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp feels like a relic from a bygone time, unearthed and presented without consideration for contemporary audiences. It attempts to capture the spirit of the original cartoons but ends up as a pale imitation, much like a photocopy of a photocopy-blurry and devoid of the sharpness that made the original memorable.

In conclusion, Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp is a misfire that fails to justify its existence. While it may momentarily entertain very young children, it offers little for adults or fans of the original character. Like a campfire without marshmallows, it leaves you wondering why you bothered in the first place.

This bird should have stayed in its nest.

While the 2017 film was mainly a ripoff of the 2011 Yogi Bear movie. That film had charismatic characters and a funny plot while this film just feels like a cashgrab that completely forgets that fact that Woody already had a human family in the previous film and throws him into a camp with obnoxious kids characters and characters like Wally Walrus and Buzz Buzzard which them being literal cartoon anthromorphic animals working in a camp instead of making them something like the animals from Guardians Of The Galaxy contradicts the logic of the first film where Woody was supposed to act like an actual animal outside of his cartoony appearance and being able to talk.

Its A Mediocre Film But Miles Better Than The Last Film. I Am A Bit Nit Picky With The Part With The Humans Plus Theres Some Cringy Moments Here Which Im Not To Fond Of But The Stuff Between Woody & Buzz Is Probably The Most Interesting And Entertaining Part Of That Movie As Some One Who Watched The Original Cartoons By Walter Lantz It Has To Be The Highlight Of This Film In My Opinion And This Is Probably The Best Thing That Universal 1440 Entertainment Has Put Out In The Last I Dont Know 17 Years But Yeah Like What I Said Its A Little Sloopy But It Is Nice Seeing Woody Woodpecker Again After 2-6 Year, So If You Happen To Like Woody Woodpecker You Might Like This One But If You Dont You Might Hate This One.

Y0sthinz (4/12/2024) - 5/10 (Re-edited On April 14th 2024).

Note: I Originally Gave It A 7 But Dropped It Down To A 5 Because I Began Thinking About My Major Complaints With This One So Yeah.

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.

This movie was a step from the the last movie which is impressive and not so bad Woody wasn't a jerk in this one and he values and cares about everyone around him the plot was very interesting and the side plot with Buzz buzzard is the highlight of the film if you want to see actual good live action adaptations see the Sonic movies and this sequel to the mediocre 2017 movie it's a lot of fun. It also has the humor of the classic Walter lantz cartoons making the humor in the film passible enough. The cgi had a slight downgrade from before but the character movements and designs were good,that's it.

Woody woodpecker was a show I grew up with it was my all time favourite show as a kid and this movie was good, okay the story is a little cliché but it was still good and woody can be annoying but I'm used to it, mostly I watch movies on my own so I honestly thought it was great I like how cartoony it was and I just like the feel this movie way better then the first one thats for sure. And the animation was a big step up to and the story was at least more better then the first. Many people may hate this movie but i used to watch the old series and I think it captures the series pretty good. This is definitely a guilty pleasure for me.

This is a great movie that was actually made for kids and not Kids/parents like nearly every modern kids movie. My 2 and 6 year old want to watch it over and over. It's nostalgic watching a kids movie where the target audience isn't a 35 year old. They did a beautiful job making a kids movie that felt like a 1995 camp movie I grew up with. I seen it twice and I enjoyed it without any innuendoes or pop culture references slipped in there for parents. It's a pretty chilled out movie, Woody isn't tasked with saving the world, just a classic camp movie scenarios with normal "baddies". The games the camp kids setup and play memorized my kids and reminds me of Heavyweights or Ernst goes to camp. For sure, most adults wouldn't like this as much as Monster Inc. Or Cars, but to my kids is just as good, if not better because they find the camp, games, and kids working together fascinating. All in all, its nice to put something on were my kids are the target demographic and I dont need to explain all the 4th wall breaks, innuendos, and pop culture references.

As you can see by the tile I really, really hate this movie a Lot. So why do I hate this movie so much let's start by talking about, ugh Woody. He is extremely unlikeable, he always causing problems for himself and the camp and nothing happens to him. I'm not saying I hate main protagonist who are selfish, some good examples are Woody in Toy Story 1995 and Puss in Puss In Boots The Last Wish. Because they go through a journey. They realised that they were selfish and change for the better. None of that happened Woody is still the same egotistical, narcissistic, Selfish bird that we saw in the beginning. It's not like the other characters are better. All of them are forgettable. I would say their names if I could remember their names. As for the Villains there's two.

Now it's time to talk about the plot. Basically Woody is send to a different camp to learn about teamwork (he doesn't by the way but apparently he does). But the camp is spit into two smaller camps which every year goes against each other in the games or something I don't care anymore. Now the only ok part is the villain Buzz who manipulates the head of the camp which Woodys camp is against to take over that camp and become one big camp so he can dig up the gold under the ground. It's alright but in a film like this, this makes it a little bit better.

The message of the film is that you can do anything and you don't need to try hard or work hard which is a horrible message. Also the comedy sucks, there's a joke when they say a pun and then they explain why the pun is funny. And the it's all just unfunny puns Over all do not watch this.

When this movie was announced, I was really excited. Woody Woodpecker is one of the most famous characters of all time, although not on the same level as Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny, but still.

As for the movie itself, it's definitely entertaining. The story is more interesting and Woody has more character this time than in the first movie. I thought it was very good that the character style was visually adjusted. Woody, but also this time Buzz Buzzard can fit in well this time. The story is not only wild, but also have a certain amount of meaning. Furthermore, the movie is funny and entertaining.

Good story and development shown in character arc through story. It was a funny film that is great for the whole family. It can often be hard to make a live action remake but I believe it accomplished this quite well. There was the typical cartoon characters which is to he expected and good acting for all live actors who played parts in the film.

Only criticism is the ending, which appeared just like any cliche Disney ending, leaving little room for a follow up unless you destroy the premises and development in the first. Granted they may not be trying to make a follow up but it does not leave room for interpretation.
