Solid Ivory

About This Movie

So, Solid Ivory from '47 is this quirky little gem in the animation-comedy lane. You’ve got Woody Woodpecker in classic form, doing his usual mischief, but set against a farm backdrop which adds a nice rustic vibe. The pacing's pretty brisk, and there’s something about Woody's antics that just ooze charm—especially when he goes all-out to outsmart that hen. The slapstick humor is delightful, and the efforts of the animators in capturing the chaotic energy of that pool table showdown really stand out. It’s engaging, yet simple, with a real warmth that keeps you hanging on through the antics.

Solid Ivory has seen a few home video releases but remains relatively scarce in collector circles, particularly in its original theatrical format. The animation captures a unique post-war humor that resonates with nostalgia, making it a curious piece for those interested in Woody Woodpecker’s evolution. As for collector interest, it seems to fluctuate, but genuine enthusiasts often seek it out for both its historical context and the distinctive animation style from that period.
