I know of Lantz but when you said the Disney model for Woody I sat
here and agreed.
Been a long time since I watched a Woody cartoon.
The pileated woodpecker was the model for Woody though. The real
life pileated are quite large as far as woodpeckers go. Their large
size is how I know one is close by. They make a solid very audible
thunk when they peck at a tree. Not machine gun style like a smaller
woodpecker. Rather thunk, short pause, thunk and so on.
