Not much Woodpecker, lots of Popeye, November 5, 2009
This review is from: Woody Woodpecker and Other Cartoon Treasures - DVD (DVD)
Transfer quality of the 16 public domain animations within GENIUS ENTERTAINMENT's WOODY WOODPECKER AND OTHER CARTOON TREASURES is about average: nothing remarkable, with a couple that are too dark or have faded colors. Set includes a Disney 'toon ("Hooked Bear") and two Warner's shorts (the un-PC "Flop Goes the Weasel" and "Fin n' Catty").
