''The Screwdriver'' is the second animated cartoon short subject in the ''Woody Woodpecker'' series. Released theatrically on August 11, 1941, the film was produced by Walter Lantz Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures. The plot has the wacky bird driving a car (hence the title of the picture), with a series of gags about the jalopy he's driving and his attempts to speed and to elude a persistent policeman. == Notes == * Like most of the early 1940s Lantz "cartunes", ''The Screwdriver'' carried no director's credit. Lantz himself has claimed to have directed this film, which features animation by Alex Lovy and Ralph Somerville, a story by Ben Hardaway and Jack Cosgriff, and music by Darrell Calker. * The song, performed by Mel Blanc at the beginning of the film, would make a reappearance in ''Hot Rod Huckster'', performed by Grace Stafford. :''Everybody thinks I'm screwy!'' :''Screwy as a loon, that's me!'' :''When I get on the driving spree,'' :''The coppers all get panicky!'' :''Honk my horn!'' :''HONK! HONK! HONK!'' :''Strip my gears!'' :''SCREECH! SCREECH! SCREECH!'' :''So I'm screwy, what, what, what can I do?'' :''I ask you!'' * ''The Screwdriver'' marks the last time Mel Blanc provided the voice for Woody. However, Woody's famous laugh and "Guess Who?!" signature line (provided by Blanc) would continue to be recycled in the succeeding shorts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Screwdriver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
