Toon Legends: Woody Woodpecker in Ace in the Hole (1942)

Even Woody Woodpecker got in on the act when it came to wartime cartoons in the 40's.

"Ace in the Hole" puts Woody at a military base, where he dreams of becoming a pilot, though his canine commanding officer seems to think this'll never happen. Kent Rogers voices Woody in this one.




Never saw this one when Woody was in syndication in the 70's. No rating.

Well count yourself lucky that you didn't, because it may have turned you into a knife-wielding maniac (at least, according to that infamous study by Alberta Siegel, discussed here: http://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/alberta-siegel-sets-a-rubber-knife-1955/).

Never trust "studies" conducted by people who don't understand cartoon humor.
