SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Was very fond of Woody Woodpecker and his cartoons as a child. Still get much enjoyment out of them now as a young adult, even if there are more interesting in personality cartoon characters and better overall cartoons.That is in no way knocking Woody, because many of his cartoons are a lot of fun to watch and more and also still like him a lot as a character. 'Drooler's Delight' may not be one of his best, but it's still very enjoyable and out of his better outings with Buzz Buzzard. Originality is not a strong suit, pretty formulaic for a Woody/Buzz cartoon, and while the chemistry between the two gels better than in 'Wet Blanket Policy' and they are a lot of fun together it's not as witty or as inspired as when Woody is with Wally, which sees stronger material and personality contrasts.While there are more interesting characters, Woody is an amusing character and never too obnoxious, while Buzz is a good foil. As said, they do work well together if lacking in inspiration.As ever, the animation is great. The characters are well drawn, but even better are the rich colours, meticulously detailed backgrounds and smooth backgrounds.Music is another strength here. It's characterful, lushly orchestrated and is not only dynamic with the action it even enhances it. The writing is amusing and chuckle-worthy enough and the gags are well-timed and often hilarious.Solid voice acting as to be expected.In conclusion, solid Woody/Buzz effort. 8/10 Bethany Cox
