It's the Smart Writing, Stupid, 18 April 2008
7/10
Author: boblipton from New York City

What Mike Maltese, long Termite Terrace's best writer, was doing working for Walter Lantz for one movie, I have no idea -- he may have been feuding with hated producer Selzer, because he spent two or three years bouncing hither and yon until he settled in with Hanna-Barbera -- but this mild satire of rock-and-roll music is peppered with impeccably timed gags, a hallmark of Maltese's scripts in the past. Which argues that that was all that Woody Woodpecker was lacking in this period, because after this it was largely back to the usual sluggish stuff, largely fit for kids. But a good director would probably have helped too.

It also helps when the art looks good, and while the animation had been too simple for several years, there is some nice background art on this one.
