What Makes Daffy Duck Audience Reviews

GazerRise Fantastic!
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
TheLittleSongbird This is a wonderful Daffy Duck cartoon, that is everything I like in a typical Looney Tunes cartoon, it is witty, fast paced, quick-witted and funny. Daffy himself is brilliant, manic and hysterical and Mel Blanc's voicing is one of the best assets to a short that is already perfect. Fox and Elmer are effective supporting characters, and make the most of the rapid and razor sharp material. Great music, a simple and fun story and fluid animation are other things to like about "What Makes Daffy Duck".Overall, this is a great cartoon, and I do recommend it! 10/10 Bethany Cox
mirosuionitsaki2 Ooh, It's ducking season and guess what? Daffy Duck is a duck! Don't tell anyone, please. It's a secret. Two hunters want him. A fox and Elmer Fudd. You're going to let that fox take him, Elmer? He's your duck. You're going to let Elmer talk to you like that, Fox? He's your duck. The fight is on.An interesting cartoon. A daffy duck cartoon not about World War II and full of the Daffy Duck you know and love. Don't forget the old Duck costume trick. Daffy Duck couldn't fall for that. You don't know Daffy well enough. Ha! He can smell an imposter from -5 feet away. The river, silly. Ha.I recommend this cartoon for anyone.
Lee Eisenberg When we first meet the famously wacky quacker in "What Makes Daffy Duck", he explains to us how hard it is to be a duck during hunting season, the way that one always has to hide from everything. But then, Elmer Fudd and an unidentified fox catch sight of him and proceed to vie for him. Needless to say, Daffy always knows how to outsmart them both.One might interpret this cartoon as an analogy for the Spanish-American War. Both countries wanted control of Cuba and fought each other over it - they never considered letting Cuba become independent - much like how Elmer and the fox fight over Daffy with no thought as to how he feels.Of course, I'm the sort of person who reads a little far into stories, so I'm probably seeing something that's not really there. "WMDD" was most likely intended as zany entertainment to get shown before a feature film (and it is really funny). Daffy is his usual far out self - pulling a shower out of mid air, and later doing the same with oil - while Elmer is the eternal sap, as Daffy offers him a contract at Warner Bros (I guess that movie studios never miss a chance to advertise themselves).Anyway, really good.
bob the moo It's duck season and, confidentially, Daffy is a duck. His problems are greater than usual when he is hunted by both Elmer Fudd and a fox. More than a match for one duck you would say? Not when the duck is as tricky as Daffy who sets about turning the two hunters against one another.I love Daffy Duck, but I greatly prefer him when he is crazy, in his early days - not only do I prefer his character but also the cartoons seemed to have more value placed upon them. Here we have such a cartoon. Daffy sums up the material best himself when he says `typical of the little black duck' as he spills oil to slip his captor. The gags are good as Daffy uses his crazy imagination to outsmart his captors - in a way it's like Bugs Bunny but Daffy has the added benefit of being absolutely off his head! This is very funny - I'm biased as I am a fan but I guess even those with a passing liking for the duck will enjoy this.Elmer and the fox are both pretty good - they have the ability to give as good as they get and give the impression that they are a physical match for Daffy and it's only his mental superiority that saves him. As said, Daffy is always at his best when he is slightly loony and that's just what he does here. He is funny, quick witted and a really fun character.Overall, this is typical of the little black duck - fast, witty, imaginative and crazily funny! An enjoyable outing for Daffy Duck that will easily please fans and hopefully win new ones.
