* AdaptationalBadass: Woody flies, is very agile, and can drill through wood like a tornado in this film while he (usually) lacked these abilities back in the cartoons. In the 1940s animated shorts, Woody rarely flew and he stayed on the ground or drove a car to get to places.
* AdaptedOut: None of the other Woody Woodpecker characters are present due to the film being a HumanFocusedAdaptation. However, Buzz Buzzard and Wally Walrus are eventually added into the sequel "Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp".

* AnthropomorphicShift: Inverted. In this film, Woody is downsized to between one and two feet, although back in the cartoons he was at least half the size of a human and drove a car. Woody also doesn't carry any money in this film, while he always did in the cartoon, especially whenever his nemesis Buzz Buzzard (who's not in this film) was involved and tried to cheat him out of his money.

* CallingParentsByTheirName: Tommy calls his father Lance at the start of the movie, much to Lance's annoyance. He starts to call him dad as their relationship improves.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Tommy does this a lot to his dad Lance for antagonizing Woody so much.
* CaptainObvious: Woody, he deliberately says [[{{Understatement}} obvious things]] the whole movie.

* ChildHater: Vanessa, Lance's Brazilian fiancé, does not really want to be a stepmom. She's immediately hostile and snobby towards Tommy, Lance's son, and nags him to serve her throughout their trip behind Lance's back, especially once he disobeys her and allies with Woody. She eventually reveals her dislike of him, calling him a "brat," to Lance, which is the first hint that [[spoiler:she might not be the best girlfriend for him]].

* MaternallyChallenged: Vanessa claims to not be very good with kids, and she doesn't get along with his son Tommy at all. She's snobby towards him, not wanting him to join them on their trip at first, and bosses him around once they're there. It's clear she doesn't look forward to becoming a step-mom at all.

* ControlFreak: Vanessa, Lance's Brazilian fianc&eacute, is very bossy and high-maintenance. She pushes Lance's son Tommy around, and becomes increasingly strict and aggressive with the housing development once Woody "ruins" it.

* DisposableFiance: [[spoiler: Vanessa, Lance's fiancé at the start of the film, breaks off their engagement halfway through the film after seeing him fail to get rid of Woody and allowing her to get blown up. This appears to free Lance up to pursue a relationship with park ranger Sam]].

* {{Jerkass}}: Vanessa, Lance's Brazilian fiance. She is immediately shown to be a selfish and vain woman, who acts like a bratty teenage girl to get what she wants from Lance and is arrogant and controlling towards his son Tommy.

* MythologyGag: Woody's rap song is a modern arrangement of his opening song number from his first solo cartoon, ''WesternAnimation/TheCrackedNut''.
* MadGod: Invoked, as the park ranger informs Lance that Woody's species was seen by the local indigenous people as the manifestation of their god of chaos and mayhem.

* MaternallyChallenged: Lance's fiance, Vanessa, claims to not be very good with kids, which means she doesn't get along with Tommy at all, and didn't want him to join them on their trip. She doesn't look forward to becoming a step-mom at all.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Vanessa finds herself getting a great deal of physical punishment throughout the film, including getting whacked in the face with a broom and getting blown up in a gas fire, all played for laughs.

* CallingParentsByTheirNames: Tommy calls his father Lance at the start of the movie, much to Lance's annoyance. He starts to call him dad as their relationship improves.

* ContinuityNod: The fake female woodpecker decoy that the Grimes brothers set up for Woody is a nod to Winnie. However, because the movie states that Woody's the last of his species, this could mean that Winnie doesn't exist in this movie's continuity or she died from the poaching that extinguished all the other woodpeckers.

* ScrewySquirrel: Woody veers between this and KarmicTrickster over the course of the movie, being [[{{Troll}} antagonistic towards Lance for no apparent reason]] and blackmailing him into getting a huge stockpile of Peanut Butter Bonkers cookies; and also one-upping the poachers trying to capture him.

'''Woody:''' I know... you folks are thinking "Woody is a big, fat sellout." ''[the camera pans back to reveal his house stuffed full of peanut butter cookie boxes]''

* BigBad: Nate and Ottis Grimes, the brother poachers who desire to hunt Woody and sell him to the highest bidder.
