Why did Woody Woodpecker never get as popular as Bugs or Mickey? He was the mascot of Universal's theme parks for a while, but did you even know that? He's never been big enough to be a company mascot like Mickey is for Disney or Bugs is for Warner Brothers. A lot of Woody's classic cartoons really hold up.
>>153051365>Why did Woody Woodpecker never get as popular as Bugs or MickeyHe was as popular as Bugs and Mickey and was the mascot of Universal, he just slowly collapsed in popularity over last 40 years while those others held onto the some levels
He's not as funny and sympathetic as Bugs and not as charming as Mickey
>>153051365I absolutely loved his 2010 premium version that tried to compete with The Looney Tunes show with high quality retelling of the story in modern times. In my opinion small things add up.His laugh was the most annoying out of the birds.Daffy's schizo and Donald's schizoid rambling just had more...soul in them
>>153051365He's popular still, OP the theme park STILL use him (and Chilly Willy for some reason) he also got a second shitty live action movie, he is more popular in LatAm of course but I'd say he is well known in the States, MeTV Toons still airs his shorts and funnily enough he was in more shorts than Mickey and Bugs Bunny
>>153052025They got rid of the Woody Woodpecker area in the Orlando park a couple years ago.
>>153051365Because Universal didn't know what to do with their cartoon properties.
Universal is shit, extremely easy to do good woody cartoons since hes just a more chaotic evil version of bugsbunny but they refuse to do so and would rather make generic slop for children with a red bird paint #5040495
