A Woody Woodpecker feature film is in development from Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment.
The troublemaking woodpecker with an iconic laugh first appeared in one of Universal’s “Andy Panda” shorts in 1940. He was then voiced by animation legend Mel Blanc.
Blades of Glory writers John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky are said to be preparing a script and there’s no word yet on whether or not the film is planned as a full CGI feature like Illumination’s Despicable Me and the upcoming The Lorax or a CGI/live action blend.
