Cast and characters

Woody Woodpecker
  • Woody Woodpecker (Billy West) - A mischievous pileated woodpecker who lives in a treehouse overlooking an apartment building in the big city. His personality mirrors Tom Sawyer, a lazy and crazy moocher, often looking for ways to get by without lifting a finger. This does not endear him to his rivals, but Woody doesn't take their resistance lightly. His father is Scottish, and Woody is proud of his Scottish heritage.
  • Buzz Buzzard (Mark Hamill) - A sleazy common buzzard who is always concocting scams and cons on Woody and Winnie, though the woodpeckers frequently outsmart him.
  • Wally Walrus (Billy West) - A Swedish walrus who lives in the apartment Woody's treehouse overlooks. He is one of Woody's frequent adversaries, though him being antagonistic through snobbishness is about as frequent as Woody being a nuisance in search of food or mischief.
  • Miss Meany (Andrea Martin) - The grouchy landlady who owns the apartment complex where Wally lives and Woody overlooks. She is one of Woody's frequent adversaries, and generally more mean-spirited than Wally. Often portrayed as a hard worker who takes her job seriously and respects those in authority.
  • Winnie Woodpecker (B. J. Ward) - A female pileated woodpecker and Woody's best friend who tends to get into her own misadventures. She has a more dignified persona than Woody's.
  • Knothead (Elizabeth Daily) and Splinter (Nika Futterman) - Woody and Winnie's nephew and niece, respectively, a pair of young pileated woodpeckers who can't help but give to their uncle (and anybody else) a hard time.
  • Tweakey Da Lackey (Mark Hamill) - A domestic canary who is usually Buzz's henchman, often reluctant about it.

  • Smedley (Billy West) - A hound dog that is frequently at odds with Chilly, though usually portrayed as more an authority figure than an antagonist. He is very easygoing and generally does not break his calm demeanor, but Chilly always pushes Smedley's patience to the breaking point.
  • Chilly Lilly (mute) - A female penguin who is the Chilly Willy's girlfriend and appears in the episode Chilly Lilly.
  • Maxie The Polar Bear (Rob Paulsen) - A polar bear who is one of Chilly's friends. He makes a few appearances on Chilly's segments.
