In our
most recent news about the upcoming
April 15th DVD release of
The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection: Volume 2, we passed along word from Universal that the contents of this 3-disc set includes "
over 75 digitally remastered and completely uncut cartoons that also showcase Woody's friends Chilly Willy, Andy Panda, Buzz Buzzard, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and the first appearances of Woody's nephew and niece - Knothead and Splinter."

We really thank Paul Mular for filling us in on these details. Paul has also posted a great deal of this info as a "review" at
Amazon's pre-order listing for this set. Over there he also includes some additional details, such as who the directors were on the Woody cartoons, and what the year of first release was for those cartoons, plus his own opinons on which installments are worth watching and which aren't. So check it out, if you are interested in such things! And don't forget to pre-order your copy while you're there, which is currently running $29.99 after Amazon discounts it. I know I'm getting it!
