Reference excerpt

Woody Woodpecker is the first animated cartoon short subject in the Woody Woodpecker series. Released theatrically on July 7, 1941, the film was produced by Walter Lantz Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures. This is the second appearance of Woody Woodpecker; his debut was in an Andy Panda cartoon, Knock Knock. The working title of this cartoon is 'Cracked Nut'.

Plot The inhabitants of the forest that Woody Woodpecker lives in have started spreading the word that Woody is crazy, due to all of his screwball antics. After telling him (and many others) this several times, Woody also begins to question his sanity. Woody Woodpecker spends his day singing loudly and pecking holes in trees. He infuriates the other woodland creatures, when he is not baffling them with his bizarre behavior. Woody overhears a squirrel and a group of birds gossiping about him. Even though he just sang a song proclaiming his craziness, he denies their whispered accusations that he's nuts. After they trick him into knocking his head on a statue, the poor bird hears voices in his head and decides the animals might be right. He decides to see a doctor, but Woody chooses to see Dr. Horace N. Buggy, a Scottish-brogue-burring fox who is even crazier than he is. The story ends with Woody hurled into a movie theater audience, watching the doctor crack up on screen, and annoying the people beside him ("That doctor sure is a card, isn't he? But I don't think he's near as funny as the woodpecker! Do you think so, mister? Huh? DO you, mister? HUH? I like cartoons! Don't YOU like cartoons??"). One of the people then puts up Woody's seat, leaving him stuck. Then, he screams for help from his seat. As for the people beside him, they smile gladly as the cartoon ends.

Notes There is no director credit for the film. Lantz himself has claimed to have directed Woody Woodpecker.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Woody Woodpecker (1941 film)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Woody Woodpecker (1941 film) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Woody Woodpecker (1941 film) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Woody Woodpecker (1941 film) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Woody Woodpecker (1941 film)

In research: Woody Woodpecker (1941 film) appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Woody Woodpecker (1941 film) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Woody Woodpecker (1941 film) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1940s American film stubs, 1940s animated film stubs, 1941 American animated films, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
