Wicket Wacky is the 34th animated cartoon short subject in the Woody Woodpecker series. Released theatrically on May 28, 1951, the film was produced by Walter Lantz Productions and distributed by Universal-International.

Plot

While playing a solitary game of croquet, Woody inadvertently disturbs a gopher's parlor and finds himself in a territorial dispute.

Notes

  • There is no director's credit for this film. Lantz himself has claimed to have directed Wicket Wacky, but does not receive on-screen credit.
  • Woody began wearing yellow gloves in Wicket Wacky. This change would remain through Woodpecker in the Rough when the white gloves were restored.
