Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp

Netflix has shared new images for several of its upcoming animated features, but the big news shared by the streamer today was that the previously unannounced hybrid feature Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp will debut on April 12.

Netflix hasn’t released many details about the film yet, but the streamer did say that accomplished kids and family tv director Johnathan Rosenbaum (Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour) is helming from a screenplay by Cory Edwards, Jim Martin, and Stephen Mazu. Universal 1440 Entertainment, the direct-to-video label of Universal Pictures, is producing.

A brief logline reads: “After getting kicked out of the forest, Woody thinks he’s found a forever home at Camp Woo Hoo — until an inspector threatens to shut down the camp.”

The only casting details shared so far indicate that Eric Bauza is involved, presumably as Woody’s voice, although that was not stated explicitly in today’s release.
