Woody Woodpecker has been freed from cancellation hell. The animated series has been revived for a new season of episodes on YouTube, per Deadline:
These are the newest Woody Woodpecker episodes 46 years after the last of the original cartoons were released, 16 years after the three modern Woody Woodpecker seasons and one year after the launch of the dedicated YouTube channels.
As part of the new series – for the first time – the Walter Lantz-originated character will travel to Brazil for two adventures. Created by Universal Pictures International (UPI) and Universal 1440 Entertainment, each of the ten new cartoons is five minutes long. Also, a new, short documentary was created to complement the new cartoons. Bird Gone Wild: The Woody Woodpecker Story goes behind the scenes with the makers of the new cartoons and takes a look back at the origins of the high-energy bird. The 13-minute documentary will also be available on the YouTube channels in December.
