Drooler's Delight

Drooler's Delight is a 1949 Woody Woodpecker cartoon.
==Summary==
Woody Woodpecker, suffering from heat and commercials, plans to spend his last quarter to cool off with a "super-duper delight ice cream soda," the "Drooler's Delight," but con man Buzz Buzzard has other ideas. Woody finds that he must outsmart Buzz on his way to the fountain.
==Plot==
A thoroughly thirsty Woody Woodpecker overhears a radio advertisement for the "Drooler's Delight" ice cream soda. Armed with his only quarter, he heads to the malt shop to relieve his thirst. Unfortunately, his quarter is stolen along the way by greedy Buzz Buzzard and a free-for-all ensues between the two over it culminating with Woody disguising himself as a woman to earn Buzz's affections and retrieve his quarter.
==Trivia==
This was the last Walter Lantz Cartune released through United Artists. In 1951, Lantz cartoons were once again released by Universal.
There were no Lantz cartoons released in 1950.
The last time that Ben Hardaway would do the voice for Woody. Grace Stafford would begin to voice Woody regularly in 1953 (while providing his laugh in 1951-52 releases).
Nineteen forty-eight was a banner year for Woody. That was when the novelty tune, "The Woody Woodpecker Song" was released on record. It was immensely successful and climbed rapidly to the No. 1 spot on the charts. Unfortunately, Lantz had used Blanc's laugh on the record and Blanc sued for half a million dollars. Lantz eventually settled out of court and decided that Woody needed a new voice to avoid litigation in the future. That is why this is the last cartune Ben Hardaway would voice Woody.
