Woodpecker Target

The Dizzy Acrobat (1943) stars Woody Woodpecker heckling a circus cop who refuses to let him in for free. The cartoon ends with a scene where the cop crashes into a shooting gallery and some off-camera rifles whizzing bullets past him.

Woody comes into the picture to heckle-peck his head a final time in cycle animation, engaging in his familiar laugh. (Isn't the DVNR horrible?)



But Woody doesn’t bask in victory. Story men Bugs Hardaway and Milt Schaffer punish Woody by having the shooting gallery customers fire at him. Some random poses.



Emery Hawkins gets an animation credit but no director is credited. Kent Rogers goes for a Bowery Boys-type voice for Woody in this one.
