On the Pebbley Beach Golf Course, Dapper Denver Dooley and Woody Woodpecker are in a championship playoff. The prize: $25,000. After both contenders make holes in one, a psychological battle begins. Woody crunches celery. Dapper drives himself into a sand trap. Woody proves himself too light for quicksand; Dapper sinks. At every turn, Dapper proceeds to lure and trick poor Woody until Woody's game seems lost. All that Dapper needs to win is a short putt into the cup, but he's seized with a magnificent case of hiccups. Woody wins and hiccups dollar bills!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Blistering performances.

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. He's fun enough and isn't obnoxious, but this is not the manic Woody of his early cartoons. Once again, this is a pretty toned down Woody Woodpecker, he's still fun but one does sort of pine for his original personality which would have contrasted more with Dooley (in his final outing with Woody), the funnier and more interesting character.Like the previous two cartoons, there are a few amusing moments, but the timing lacks zip and the laughs are too far and between. Never rising above amusing. The story is flimsy and at times repetitive, too much of the action veers on the obvious. The ending is very easy to figure out, wasn't surprised by the outcome.It is the animation that fares least in 'The Tee Bird', which was not unexpected. Time and budget constraints shows in some of the animation, which is a little rushed looking in the drawing and detail wise it's on the simplistic and careless side like many of Woody's cartoons from this period continuing through to the 60s.On the other hand, the music however is bouncy, energetic and very lushly orchestrated, not only synchronising and fitting with the action very well but enhancing it.Some of the cartoon is amusing (Woody does have some nice outwitting moments in the more psychological battling moments), as is Dooley, and 'The Tee Bird' captures the fun of golf quite well.In conclusion, another one of the Woody Woodpecker cartoons that is not bad and watchable but with no desire to see it again let alone over and over. 5/10 Bethany Cox
