Woody Woodpecker's Terrible Live Action Film (@RebelTaxi) 

He's really big in Brazil. I think the Brazilian market is functioning as his life support

@@alchemistofsteel8099 it is where this movie premiered.

It's Universal, nothing they do makes sense

He’s pretty popular in Brazil

Yeah, my cartoons from the 40's were literally the only good ones lol, sorry about this movie by the way!

Eh, I'll take "We're Commie as fuck" over that one.

Canal 5 might not have good shows, but they sure as fuck are getting their money's worth for those 70 year old licenses.

He keeps saying no one cares about woody. Im like i love woody. He’s popular in brazil. Ohhhh im mexican. He is popular there also. Hahaha.

I thought Pan was Latino, I could've sworn he said something about his race on the podcast.

Also top cat

@@T-Jex otro rollo 😏😏

Yeah she literally just leaves, it would’ve been funnier if she was actually blown up Woody, then she runs away and never returns without interacting with anybody.

@@tobyrightenger9748 or she becomes the antagonist and tries to brutally murder woody in over the top ways that backfire.

@@tobyrightenger9748Ngl I thought she would’ve appeared in an end credits scene where she’s in the five star hotel she mentioned before Woody messes with her, but no. They went the cheaper way by shoving in an old cartoon that’s funnier than the actual movie

It depends on the decade, his cartoons from the 40s were gold, his cartoon from the 50s were okay but a little inferior to the 40s, his cartoons from the '60s were watered down shlock that was just made to appease sensitive parent groups. Woody undeniably has some good cartoons under his belt but only the ones from the 40s, the rest aren't as good.

same here

Me three

It also made me realize how long I've been watching Pan. I remember when the first Super Duper Sumos vid came out

It was the best joke. Partly because he cuts to commercial before saying what actually happened.

First time watching Pan's vid i 100% believed it

9 days ago?

yo wtf how did you comment 9 days ago? isn't this just a re release of an old video? Whaaa

@@kawaiivenus8177 I seen something like this before, it’s probably an error or something

Thank God

No, it pretty much is the same. It's about as bad as this. I'm sick of seeing everyone defending the Sonic movie. It sucked and everyone knows it. The entire movie was filled with nothing but cringe jokes, Sonic was obnoxious, the human characters are in the movie too much and all idiots, and Jim Carrey was awful, ruining Robotnik by just recycling his cringy Grinch performance without changing anything. Sonic 'flossing', being a memelord and making cringe humor the whole way through. The Sonic movie sucked and it was every bit as bad as this was. The only reason anyone defends or pretends to like the Sonic movie is because they tricked and manipulated everyone into liking it. The made a fake trailer with a bad effect that was designed to get attention and making petitions for, then they "miraculously" release the final movie with a slightly less terrible effect. All of a sudden everyone thinks the movie was "saved" even though they never changed the worst aspect of it: the script and the cringe humor. If you cater the the entitlement of fans and make them believe their little social movement made some change and manipulate an audience of kids into thinking that they 'listened" to "the fans", then those fans will go see a terrible movie and pretend it's good becuase they all think they helped "save it" by fooling them into thinking they fixed the movie by creating a smokescreen excuse to get people to focus on instead of the entire screenplay being cringe memes, poor direction and bad writing. This Sonic movie sucked. But the scam marketing manipulated and gaslit people into thinking it's better than it is, because they tricked the fans into thinking it's "their" movie. And all they had to do was release a fake trailer.

@@the-NightStar damn nice essay

@@the-NightStar was the second movie any better? The second one was decent at the very least

@@the-NightStar EXACTLY! God that movie sucked! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oXJvOJNUlCs.html

Though certain sections oddly seem to be missing.

@@_-Lx-_ Which ones?

@@alchemistofsteel8099 I remember a section where he talked about how the movie was made because of the series popularity in South America and how the guys in yellow coats raising their arms at the waterfall was a big meme.

@@_-Lx-_ it's at 2:28

Oh shit nice profile picture

Literally

agreed. he definitely looks better than a lot of 2D characters modeled in 3D.

Along with Betty Boop.

Same! 😅 Wonder why it was deleted.

Probably because of copyright issues… idk it’s weird.

Yeah, I remember seeing 3 excellent videos about it (RebelTaxi here, I Hate Everything, and I believe Saberspark or Nostalgia Critic), and I love how they all covered different aspects of the movie (especially IHE's repeated Dark Universe gags and how well he lambasted the poor translation of slaptick gags to overly-violent scenes like the infamous gas burner scene), but they all got taken down for some reason.

It was probably automatic.

@no way ah? Thanks

I saw a video on RU-vid that edited the trailer to look like a trailer for a horror movie.

@@wisconsinking323 interesting

Yep, just why did the pranks end up being so dangerous...

@@SlushysSecret right

I'm surprised Pan doesn't have a thing for alt girls, you could easily get goth and alt mixed up.

@@wisconsinking323 Ah yes, they saw Ramona Flowers and felt so empowered.

@@SirBlackReeds Someone is gonna have to fill me in on that.

@emptyglass7867 I never said he was a zoomer, alt girls aren't a zoomer thing.

It's a Kanye quote

Back during the Bush administration after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans back in 2006, there was a charity telethon on live TV to help raise money for those who where effected by it. The program had lots of celebrities on it. At one point on the program Kanye West and Mike Myers come on and out of nowhere Kanye says that line. The video is as hilarious back then as it is today and you can find it on RU-vid.

@@saulruiz8651 i know, it just feels like a random reference to get the older crowd

@@crystaleevee1334 and its true George Bush didn't care about black people neither Obama Donald Trump Joe Biden extra

How out of context can you get?

Your right Woody doesn't look that bad but they didnt do a good job clashing him with the real world

Lol

So the sonic movie?

@@dr.wolfstar1765 Not really, cause Sonic actually got a fair amount of screen time in his own film .

@@dr.wolfstar1765 except that both sonic movies are good

"source"?

SEQUEL?????

Solder: Dear God. Spy: Wait, there's more. Solder: Nnoo!

The Woody Woodpecker laugh also came from the early incarnation of Bugs as well.

The first one though.

Those movies are based off an already popular video game IP who’s poster boy is known for being a talky smart-aleck. They couldn’t fail unless someone went out of their way to make the writing incompetent.

@@coffinfeeder7732 well, the same could be said for any franchise the difference is they stuck to what made the games good

it didn't innovate a damn thing. The Sonic movie still sucked and it was just as bad as this was. Follows the same garbage formula, has the same cringe humor and everything. The only reason people think they like the Sonic movie is becuase the marketing manipulated and gaslit the easily duped fanbase with a fake trailer. Then after getting everyone's support using the "bad sonic effect" as a smokescreen for petitions, and backlash.... then switching the movie out with the real Sonic effect they had all along, suddenly the fans think they "saved" the movie, and overlooked the bad direction, the horrible writing, the formulaic CGI cartoon animal stock plot and the cringe humor. The makers of this film used the entitlement of the Sonic fanbase to trick them into thinking they helped "save" it, who then felt obligated to watch a movie they suddenly felt was "their movie" that they "helped fix" The Sonic movie sucks. it's a scam, a manipulation, a con job. It suckered in a fan-base by playing their own cynicism and entitlement like a fiddle using a fake trailer they had prepared from the beginning.

@@the-NightStar the sonic movie is great also too long didnt read go touch grass

I bet he doesn't regret this as much as The Next Mutation.

Voice actor Scott McNeil aka Toa Tahu from Bionicle Mask of Light: The Movie!

Finally! A role that utilizes his iconic cowboy hat.

i swear i never remember this guy's name until i look him up and see his long hair and cowboy hat lol.

@@Shades14 Silverbolt?

Woody has actually had quite the history of lackluster efforts. Two barely trying to okay modern TV show adaptions, even his classic output in theaters was starting to lose steam by the start of the 50s ALL the way to the freaking 70s. Yeah, his classic cartoons lasted THAT long. This movie is just another unfortunate blemish on his reputation. If you want my recommendation of GOOD Woody Woodpecker stuff, just watch the cartoons directed by animators James “Shamus” Culhane & Dick Lundy of the mid to last of the 40s (and MAYBE some from the early 50s). The Woody cartoons from those directors have actual ambition and care put into them.

I never watched Woody woodpecker much but I know what you mean

@@Ubritoons96 Eh, the 50s-70s are better than the earlier ones, at least for me But yeah, I agree that 2000 tv show is kinda meh

@@esdrasreis3481like it was meh my guy it's was really fantastic I think people are being to harsh around just because it's not like the older Shorts which kinda ironic coming from people who did the same thing with the looney show ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

​@@esdrasreis3481It's really not, he turns bland, his design's small and simple, the animation's stiff, it's drained down overall, the majority remember him from the 40s when he was cuckoo crazy and the slapstick/violence was center

How do you feel about being responsible for the horrors committed in Iraq?

@@alchemistofsteel8099 Eh, it wasn't THAT bad, they'll be fine! HA HA HA HA HA!

Why did you kill my family

Ok woody!

It's ok it's not your fault Woody.

The Brazilian Woody Woodpecker dub is literally the IP's life support

Looks like your brother's taste is mixed because the old cartoons are actually good (unless you're talking about the ones from the '60s which aren't good but the ones from the 40s are)

Maybe he pecked one too many woods.

His beak seems to just magically uncurve when he pecks something.

His earlier design had a straight beak with a pointed tip. His hair also wasn't in a quaf but more like Vegeta's hair from Dragon Ball Z.

It also helps that sonic as a base character, even at sonic's worst, is less likely to annoy people than woody with his intentionally irritating attitude and laugh. Further add to this the fact that movie sonic's a bit more of a vulnerable and softer character than modern sonic. Makes it way more approachable while keeping that sonic attitudey charm. Not to knock woody he's got his own thing going on just its easy to see him being grating given part of his schtick is being an intentional irritant unlike sonic who's attitude's more going for "cool". Doesn't help with how flanderized Woodie is in this movie further making this an issue.

@@isaacargesmith8217 yeah woodie works much better in small doses, which is why he was only really popular in shorts and never made a successful break into features outside of cameos and references.

A good chunk of it just comes out from the simple fact that Sonic just had more effort into it. An live-action hybrid could not be the best approach at first, but the director and screenwriters tried their best to do a good movie and to stay loyal to Sonic's character. Woody Woodpecker, on the other hand, is just a movie made quickly to get some money. And any Woody fan will confirm that the Woody from the movie DOES NOT even remotely resembles how he is on the classic cartoon.

@@greenmushroom2587 yeah that’s a great point. Even a lot of sonic fans prefer Ben Schwartz over the OG voice actor cause OG actors plays the character too one note. So even the big changes they made sit right with fans and the general public. I think you hit the nail on the head by saying the effort and love for the characters is what made the big difference. Woody had none of that.

Well the Sonic movie had a good Mentor (Long Claw) character which eased exhibition into immersion. Sonic himself also does the self narration bit *correctly* for a change. Lastly It had a good villain! Jim Carry seamlessly transition's Dr. Robotnik from videogame to film using his newer villain chops for acting. Woody's dumb movie was little more than lazy, crude humor and unappealing characters. Sonic and Woody are LEAGUES apart. Even Yogi Bear did the partially animated bit better than Woody.

Facts

Same, I'm amazed after all these years he's STILL under 500k subscribers. I've also always appreciated and loved the production he puts in his videos compared to like Saberspark's

As someone who never seen the movie, I thought she actually did die

oh god

It’s already been filming in Queensland.

@@ArMartz A trailer for that is coming soon.

WHAT???

why did you say this. I swear to god you better be joking

Smash Bros is over?

Ultimate just finished.

Thanks but this movie still sucks!

@@Treeeee2008 real

🗿

OK Rebeltaxi thanks for the info on this one thing 👍.

Same, I distinctly remember that Pan had a segment where he talked about the series meme status in Brazil with the waterfall scene with the dudes in raincoats rasing their arms and making that noise apparently being viral. It's bizzare it seems to be missing.

This subversion always gets me so much despite me knowing the punchline

So 2013? Also there was a RU-vid series?

@@kittykittybangbang9367 Yeah, there’s a Woody Woodpecker channel that has old cartoons, the show on Fox Kids, and a new series.

Can’t wait for the sequel movie with nega woody

That's Robot Chicken 80% of the time

Universal took my review down and no one elses for some reason

@@RebelTaxi I bet it was because of the “accidental killing” fake out you did. It’s one thing to have an unfavorable review, but if you make it look like one of their more …. _neglected_ mascots killed somebody, well that’s just ungentlemanly.

The closest I can think of that’s like Woody is Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles from the Sonic movies. They don’t move the same way he does, but by god do they look like themselves

@@woodman3926 fair, that one is a pretty good example of looking like the originals and sort of fitting in with humans.

Universal studios still ows him

I didn’t know either I just saw the upload and remember watching it when it came out a long time ago

More like both do because if you want someone that hogs all of the attention you better tell that bugs and Mickey because they are far more popular than Felix and Woody sadly even tho I still love them growing up especially to this Day 😗

@@raphaelbrown6314 Felix is far more important than Bugs and Mickey let's be honest here, so he does deserve a bit of respect.

@@Supermariorpg6 so do bugs and Mickey but I do see what you are coming from tho

@@raphaelbrown6314 Yeah, I'm just speaking historically as he did inspired the rubberhose style and Mickey Mouse. I just hope Felix gets a grand return someday, that guy deserves it.

@@Supermariorpg6 yes I do agree with you there he did and same with my home boi Woody woodpecker he deserves a better a better movie and a revival like an actual TV series not the one on RU-vid I mean like the shorts or the all new Woody woodpecker show which imo is extremely underrated same with the twisted tales of Felix the cat 😗

it would have been perfectly mediocre

Better a disaster like this than boring.
