The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection: Volume 2 is a three-disc DVD collection of theatrical cartoons starring Woody Woodpecker and the other Lantz characters, produced by Walter Lantz Productions for Universal Pictures between 1932 and 1965. The set was released by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment on April 15, 2008, and is a sequel to the first volume from the year prior. Included in the set are a further 75 cartoon shorts, including 45 cartoons featuring Woody Woodpecker and 30 other Universal cartoons as before, including those featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Andy Panda, and Chilly Willy, and musical shorts.
With some exceptions like 2009's Woody Woodpecker Favorites DVD (a mini-collection of 20 cartoons from the first volume), there would be no further Walter Lantz collections until 2021's The Woody Woodpecker Screwball Collection on Blu-ray, featuring 25 high-definition cartoons solely starring Woody Woodpecker, which was later followed up by 2026's The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Golden Age Collection also on Blu-ray, featuring another 25 high-definition cartoons with only 8 starring Woody Woodpecker.
