I love nostalgic cartoons. Especially when Tex Avery is involved! But this set seems underwhelming in terms of content. Had the cartoon titles list appeared on the front, I may not have bought it.
And with the high number of "Chilly Willy" cartoons available, it's a shame to see only 5 of them here, in lieu of a bunch of unremarkable 1940s cartoons. Indeed, most of the CW cartoons were lackluster as well (the "Legend of Rockabye Point" being the most creative standout, and Tex Avery directed it. ;-)
Now I don't know about how you felt when you popped in the disc, but if these episodes are examples of "digitally remastered", why did they bother to do a thing? Yes, the colors were remastered. But the flicker, graininess, film scratches, dust specks, et cetera, are as present as ever. (Plus, some episodes' edges are clearly clipped; details from the edges such as "thought balloons" are cut off. Surely a better film-disc transfer could have been made?)
However, it was fun to watch many Woody Woodpecker cartoons again; it's nice to revisit the times they were made in; even if said times were a bit unsavory in terms of occasional sexist or racist content. Still, this was the 1940s...
Still, for $35 it is a bit pricey. Other cartoon collections, which usually center around one classic character, cost more or less the same, but have had more time devoted to them. Every time I see "& friends" or other "throw 'em all in" collections, I know it's going to be a grab bag and not a complete set nor an anthology. But I will say this - the cartoons do appear to be completely uncut; un-PC jokes and all. For that alone, $35 isn't a bad price. But when I read "remastered", I was expecting something a bit better and competing cartoon titles of the same era look virtually pristine; were the master films kept in really such a bad shape?

The Woody Woodpecker and other Walter Lantz creations have been a long time coming, but their here and there great!
This disk set is top notch from the cartoon quality to the menu all first class production you won't regret.
Oh did I mention the 8 bonus clips by Walter Lantz How to Animate & his career story in Animation.
Must have for anyone who love good animation.

...Then this is a MUST HAVE set. It's worth it just to have what I consider the quintessential Woody Cartoon THE SCREWDRIVER "I'm lookin' for SPEEDEERS" and the Tex Avery / Chilly Willy classic ROCKABYE LEGEND (one of my top 5 faorites of all time) "Sing it to me again, will ya, Charlie?". I would also echo Gord's call for the release of a definitive TERRYTOONS collection. While I didn't appreciate them as a kid, the "Operetta" style Mighty Mouses, co-starring Pearl Pureheart and Oil Can Harry (A FIGHT TO THE FINISH, PERILS OF PEARL PUREHEART, et. al.) are a hoot!

This is most of Woody's older stuff. Alot of key episodes are missing, like woodpecker stew, "pssst, the dough" etc. Hopefully they come out with the rest of 'em because quite frankly they're the best ones in my opinion. Overall though, I still enjoyed it and so did my 13 yr old daughter and 5 yr. old son.
