Info

Weary Woody Woodpecker is hitchhiking across the desert trying to thumb a ride on a passing stagecoach. He adds artificial limbs and dresses like a girl and has no problem in getting on the next one but is tossed out when his disguise is discovered. After eating a huge meal he decides to get even with the driver and uses a poster of the wanted Buzz Buzzard as a tool. But the real Buzz shows up and, when Woody resorts to his female disguise, the dastardly villain makes a play for him.

Stage Hoax Audience Reviews

CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
TheLittleSongbird 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. 'Stage Hoax' to me was a lot of fun and very good as a cartoon, outside of the setting some of the story is a bit typical and it is once Buzz appears that 'Stage Hoax' is particularly colourful and high in entertainment value.While there are more interesting characters, Woody is an amusing character and never too obnoxious even when intentionally annoying. Wally as the stagecoach driver is similarly fun to watch, even if he has been easier to root for in other Woody/Wally outings, but Buzz takes even more of the laughs and has some of the funniest moments even as the villain of the piece. The chemistry between the three of them is great, Woody works better with Wally but the chemistry with Buzz gets stronger with each cartoon.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 whole cartoon goes at a snappy pace, especially in the second half, and there are some very well-timed and extremely funny gags, the climactic melee being the highlight, deliciously wild with some hilarious moments.All in all, very good. 8/10 Bethany Cox
