Duck Amuck Audience Reviews

Clevercell Very disappointing...
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) This is a 7-minute animated short film from over 60 years ago and it may very well be the most known one including everybody's favorite (non-Disney) duck. The fact that a short cartoon becomes induced into the National Film registry already says it all pretty much. It's a very inventive movie and there is something happening constantly. The setting is changed, Daffy's costume is changed or he transforms into an entirely different character. Also the filmmakers played a bit with colors and, more notably, with sound here. Daffy has the voice of a cock at one point. The filmmaker team are the usual Warner Bros. guys again: Jones, Maltese and Blanc who worked on hundreds (or in Blanc's case) of movies. I enjoyed watching this one, but still I feel it is slightly overrated. People should not mistake the inclusion of the pen (led by Bugs Bunny) for one of the greatest cartoons ever made just because the other ones do not include the drawing artist behind the cartoon. With that being said, I still recommend these 7 minutes.
JMSchmidtty this cartoon is hilarious. Even after you watch it over and over again it still is absolutely hilarious. Daffy is at his absolute best in this cartoon. This cartoon may have even created the fourth wall joke. All the ways Daffy is harassed is hilarious. I highly suggest you watch this. It may be the greatest cartoon of all time, it definitely is the greatest Daffy Duck cartoon. This is one of the few cartoons i can think of where Daffy is not a total jerk, even though he does get pretty p!$$3d off. Watch it if you haven't already. Even buy it on I Tunes, which you can do, by the way. Chuck Jones is a genius. It proves Daffy Duck as a comic legend.
Mightyzebra This is probably the most clever and inventive short I have ever had the opportunity to watch. It shows Daffy Duck, being made VERY VERY ANGRY by being drawn into many different messes. Daffy Duck is perfect in this episode. He is well-animated, nice enough and gets angry easily when necessary (In some episodes, I feel as if he is being unnecessarily cruel and he's not in this one, he's trying to be nice!).This short also has some MASSIVE humour. Just when you have finished laughing, yet ANOTHER joke comes on - and of course - you HAVE to laugh again!Recommended for all Daffy Duck and cartoon animation fans! Enjoy!
wermuth601 In this cartoon, Daffy Duck constantly get's tortured by the animator. Daffy keeps complaining to the animator, but no matter what, the animator always manages to outsmart him, often by either painting him or erasing him. At the end, the animator turns out to be Bugs Bunny.This is a really hilarious cartoon. It's one of the best Daffy Duck cartoons ever, and also one of Chuck Jones' best. It's too bad that this cartoon didn't even get an Oscar nomination. I mean, this didn't get nominated, and Knighty Knight Bugs won an Oscar? How shameful!One of the funniest scenes in this cartoon is a scene in which the screen goes up a few times, until it get's stuck and the screen is split into two halves, with Daffy in the bottom half and his feet in the top half, and then both images of Daffy start arguing with each other.A few years later, Bugs Bunny starred in a similar cartoon, Rabbit Rampage. That is good too, but not as good as this cartoon.
