El patxorcista

1. Even though this was made in 1987, the era where Daffy Duck was portrayed as being indescribably cynical and greedy, here he is actually very nice. In fact, I do not think I've seen him nicer in any of his other episodes.

2. This episode is very funny and the humour has a modern touch, which is a great deal more different to the humour in Daffy's first few episodes.

3. The theme of this episode works well and the makers of the episode made it work well. (The theme is a exorcism theme, Daffy tries to exorcise the evil spirits out of a woman duck).

The animation is also quite good as well, but it is nothing worth ranting on about.

In this Daffy Duck episode, Daffy works as a Paramonormalist, who rids people of monsters, ghouls and the like. A woman duck calls Daffy up to say she has a problem with kitchen appliances, which is a lie. Daffy comes over and checks out her fridge and oven, thinking he will find ghouls and monsters inside. However, it is not the woman duck's kitchen appliances that are full of monsters, it is in fact something more personal...

I recommend this to any person who likes Daffy Duck and Looney Tunes and to anyone who is over 12. Young children may be rather disturbed by this short, so they ought to stay away. Enjoy "The Duxorcist"! :-)

If there was ever an award for freakiest Looney Tunes short, it would probably go to "The Duxorcist", which plays off "The Exorcist". Most people would wonder how Warner Bros. could produce a cartoon that parodied what is considered to

be the #1 scariest movie of all time. However, they did it, though it is still pretty scary (note: most young children probably won't like this).

Playing right along the movie "Daffy Duck's Quackbusters", Daffy gets a house call from a young duck-lady who says there's something paranormal going on

with her household appliances. Of course, what Daffy doesn't realize is that the haunting isn't with the microwave or the blender... but with the lady herself. Daffy tries to exorcise the demons out of her (thankfully, without the use of a priest and holy water), but may have a few problems when the demons leave

her body and see Daffy as a new host...

Despite being very funny, this cartoon is about as spooky as Looney Tunes got. Most fans of the original movie will love it, but younger children will probably not be too thrilled, especially when the lady starts to transform into the monster. Suggestion: put the kids to bed and put this on for the teenagers, they'll love it.

I liked the Duxorcist on the whole. Admittedly I prefer the Looney Tunes cartoons of the 1940s-50s, but The Duxorcist was very interesting, and when I saw Daffy Duck's Quackbusters recently, I was surprised at how well it fitted with the story of that film. Why do I say that? It has a good story about Daffy owning an exorcism service and a possessed woman who turns into a creature when Daffy isn't looking. The animation is nice to look at, and the music is good. The dialogue is funny on the whole and the gags are like the story, interesting. The cartoon moves swiftly, and it was nice to see Melissa again, quite an alluring duck here. I liked Daffy too, instead of cynical and greedy, he is really nice, and this was a refreshing change. I do like him when he is cynical and greedy, it's just that it is nice to have a change once in a while. Overall, very interesting and has an atmospheric tone to it. 9/10 Bethany Cox

This Looney Tunes cartoon was one of the shorts edited into Daffy's feature length Quackbusters movie. He plays a Paranormalist, who deals with everything from ghouls and ghosts and goblins to aliens and UFO's. A possessed woman calls him up begging to be exorsized. Good job Daffy knows what he's doing for a change.

It's a funny short as the possessed woman turns into a vampire creature whenever Daffy isn't looking. But Daffy seems right at home in this particular guise as he did Duck Dodgers or Dorlock Homes. I'd like to see more of this in the future or maybe even the Quackbusters DVD if Warner ever decide to release it.
