Puny Express (1950)
Puny Express Review
Puny Express is a 1950 animated short film from the Woody Woodpecker series. It is a solid flick.
This is a western flick starring Woody Woodpecker opposite his rival Buzz Buzzard. It’s another one of these westerns that aren’t great, but aren’t bad either. The animation is stellar and gorgeous-looking in some of the imagery while the sound and score are fine too.
But the film lacked the great gags that I’d come to expect from the series as well as its manic energy. Buzz is excellent as always and Woody is also quite memorable here, but the humor is thoroughly lacking and the same goes for the action. The ending was lukewarm in its effect while the lack of dialogue throughout really bothered me.
