| The Barber of Seville | comment |
The Barber of Seville is a 1944 Walter Lantz cartoon directed by Shamus Culhane and starring Woody Woodpecker.It follows Woody as he stumbles across a vacant barbershop and takes it over for the time, much to the mistreatment of his customers, including a Native American and an Italian construction worker, whom he shaves to the tune of "Largo Al Factotum". Hilarity Ensues.This was not only the first of several Woody shorts that Culhane would direct but also the first Woody Woodpecker cartoon to use Woody's beloved streamlined design. The art direction was also substantially altered from lush storybook-like watercolor backgrounds to downright minimalist, flat colored layouts.Not to be confused with the Bugs Bunny short Rabbit of Seville. | |

| The Barber of Seville / int_208c4494 | comment |
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Don't give Woody the position of a barber if you value your life. Granted, he does a fairly good job on the workman—doesn't get a scratch on the guy—he's just so rough about it. | |

Screwball Squirrel | |
| The Barber of Seville / int_28d27987 | comment |
Screwball Squirrel: Woody, of course. Unfortunately, he does tend to stray from being a simple screwball into an outright Jerkass at times, a problem that would remain throughout the entire Culhane era. | |

Traumatic Haircut: Take a look at the above image... Does it look like the customer is enjoying his visit to the barbershop? Do you think he'll be able to visit a barbershop ever again without having flashbacks to the time Woody shaved him? | |

Circling Birdies: Er, chirping little birdies chirping and circling the dazed Native American's head, to the beat of a classic NA tune. | |

Digital Destruction | |
| The Barber of Seville / int_b02f21f | comment |
Digital Destruction: The DVD print of the film received a truly terrible restoration job, with way oversharpened picture, bad digital compression, and some nasty DVNR artwork erasing, most obviously during the climax. | |

Wartime Cartoon | |
| The Barber of Seville / int_c364c51e | comment |
Wartime Cartoon: It's implied that the owner of the barbershop has been drafted, and the Victory haircut is inspired by the iconic "V for Victory" slogan of the day. Woody himself lampshades this: "Back soon? That's what he thinks." | |

No, You: Woody's retort to the Indian chief after he puts a steaming hot towel on the Chief's headdress, unwittingly shrinking it into a badminton bird. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Barber of Seville / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When Woody combs his "hair" over his face, he remarks, "Looks like Harmonica Lake" — a reference to actress Veronica◊ Lake◊, famous for her "peekaboo" hairstyle. Later, when Woody calls out, "Figaro! Figaro!" the workman replies, "Coming, Mother!" — a Catchphrase of the popular radio comedy, The Aldrich Family ("Hen-RY! Henry Aldrich!" "Coming, Mother!"). | |

Art Evolution | |
| The Barber of Seville / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Under the previous director, Alex Lovy, the Lantz studio's cartoons were very haphazardly animated and designed and had pleasant, but pretty standard looking watercolor backgrounds. With Shamus Culhane's arrival, the animation only improved slightly, but this was somewhat mitigated by the fact that the character and background designs were way better than what we saw before. | |
