Poop Deck Pirate (1960)

Poop Deck Pirate Review

Poop Deck Pirate is a 1960 animated short film from the Woody Woodpecker series. It is a pretty solid flick.

Woody tries to sleep, but can’t due to urban noise, so he moves to live on an island, but there comes a pirate to ruin his peace. This is a very familiar premise that was uninspired and the gags were not great either. The scenarios were amusing, but nowhere near as funny as they needed to be.

With that being said, this is a better than average 60s Woody Woodpecker short that benefits from a solid score, a very well utilized island setting and a memorably neurotic Woody. The highlight is the animation that is both polished and very pleasing to the eye.

Poop Deck Pirate has excellent animation and a solidly utilized setting, which made it a solid flick, but uninventive gags and a familiar premise were its main weaknesses.

My Rating – 3.6
