. . . Walter L-a-n-t-z, Woody Woodpecker's co-creator, producer, sometimes director and sometimes animator, to be included as a bonus feature on Disc 2 of "The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Cartoon Collection," 2007. Dapper Walter uses animation clips and archival stills to trace the development of Woody from being a fully-feathered large wild bird with three toes into the much smaller, "streamlined," cuter, two-toed character with arms instead of wings, human hands and less flashing of the (human-like) teeth. Woody's original legs were more suited to tables than flying avian creatures, and his feathers were depicted in total disarray during his early days. Later Woody cleaned up his act.
