Someone made a topic on this awhile back.

I guess it's DTV but its weird that's it's a foreign movie though.

[plastroncafe]

Huh, wonder if they're still using Mel Blanc's laugh for the character.

I just checked. It is getting a theatrical release in Brazil but not in the US. It's so strange.

As in, TMNT 2012 voice actor Tiger Claw?

No, as in the famous game show host Tigerclaw.

No, as in the famous game show host Tigerclaw.

Oh man, Richard "Tigerclaw" Smithson was the best. Especially when he'd start singing "baby you turn me round baby right round" whenever he'd spin the game wheel. Sigh... I miss that show. "Zoo Could Be Our Next Winner" was amazing!

It's not odd, Woody Woodpecker has little commercial value in the US now but he must be fairly popular still to this day in Brazil. Remember those two Top Cat movies released a few years ago? They were made specifically for the latin-american market that love the show to this day but were only later released as an afterthought in other regions.

???? How the freak? This looks worse than how they made Scooby Doo live action.

Maybe the studio knows the movie is bad, So they are releasing it in Brazil hoping to make some money.

[plastroncafe]

It could also do with who owns the movie rights in the US vs who has them in Brazil.

[DestronMirage22]

I'm both surprised and impressed that Tiger Claw's VA can pull off such different sounding voices.
Also, while this'll probably turn out to be crap, I'm glad Woody's getting some modern-day treatment over nothing at all.

[Wildcat]

Well as mentioned I read Woody has been more popular recently over there like with the Top Cat movies situation. The movie is being shot in english though.

I see a couple of you told me it's a good thing. I just find it strange that the US did not get a live action WWP first. Not necessarily this movie just in general.

Woody himself doesn't seem that "real" here but I'd still like to check it out. Could be decent. I've always liked him. It'd be cool to have Chilly Willy appear.

[TMNTInsighter]

I love Eric Bauza but this truly is a bad idea. I also don't understand why they're brining him back now and after so long.

[plastroncafe]

Because apparently he has a much larger fanbase in Brazil. Your comment is pretty much why it's not being released in the United States.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Yeah, kids in the States don't know Woody Woodpecker like they do Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse. Not by a long shot. I guess Brazilian kids have more familiarity with him though.

Judging from the scene they used I'm guessing this is going to be an environmentally conscious movie about preserving forests and whatnot.
