Giant Movies That You Never Hear About Anymore

I know this isn’t what the thread had in mind but I’d say Woody Woodpecker cartoons

At the time Woody was massively popular just behind Disney and Looney Tunes

Now if you showed 100 kids say under ten years old a picture of Woody how many could identify him?

I’d be shocked if it was more than 5

(It also seems like classic disney and looney tunes aren’t an essential childhood staple anymore and that’s a shame)

I tried introducing my Godson to Woody Woodpecker when he was a toddler. He would completely lose his mind and become unruly and violent. He would mimic Woody's pecking and would headbutt anybody who was near.

I didn't have that problem with Tom & Jerry or the Looney Tunes characters.

It's a shame because I liked Woody Woodpecker.
