Ace in the Hole is a 1942 Woody Woodpecker short directed by Alex Lovy.

Characters

• Woody Woodpecker
• Bulldog Sergeant

Notes

• Starting with this cartoon, Woody's original design became a little softer. His buck teeth began to disappear, as Lantz realized this feature was extraneous. In addition, the beak and feet colors became slightly brighter and more vibrant. He also does not have a big chin anymore.
• The title is a play on the card-playing term "ace in the hole" and the "flying ace" who would pilot a fighter plane.
• When Woody closes Bulldog's eyes and says "Guess who?", the audio is not from the 1941 cartoon.
