Daffy Doodles

I love Looney Tunes, and I enjoyed Daffy Doodles. The story is a tad episodic on occasions and Porky is rather bland, but Daffy helps elevate the cartoon to the hugely enjoyable level with his manic, wacky and outrageous persona that makes him so unique as a toon. The animation is well done with nice backgrounds and both Daffy and Porky are well drawn, and the music is pleasant with some memorable moments. The sight gags are plentiful, particularly when Daffy draws a moustache in the air and Porky walks right into it, and the dialogue is witty and fun, with Daffy getting the best of them. The end line especially is hilarious and totally unpredictable. Overall, very enjoyable, elevated by the presence of Daffy. 8/10 Bethany Cox

A demon is loose in the city, terrorising the people and the police are baffled by a maniac who is drawing moustaches on all posters. Police sergeant Porky Pig sets up an elaborate sting to try the fiend - who is actually Daffy Duck on a crime spree.

This cartoon opens with two things - average animation and a really poor song from Daffy. Both these things had me worried, and the basic plot didn't really convince me otherwise cause it all seemed a bit crazy. BUT, as the saying goes, it was just crazy enough to work! The silly plot led to a fun chase between Porky and Daffy that had a hatful of imaginative gags including, my favourite, Daffy painting a moustache in the air for Porky to run into it!

It looks average and it's a shame the animation couldn't have had a bit more effort put into it, but it still plays well. The characters are not as strong as they could have been. Porky was a bit bland and Daffy was not his full-on crazy self but slightly more toned down.

However, it is wacky enough to please and I enjoyed it despite my early concerns.

You must see it, you must add it to your collection, you must-stache it away for special occasions. Daffy is (daffy), the crazed mustache fiend, painting mustaches on every billboard, poster, and slow moving pedestrian. Chases, double-takes, and general lunacy abound. A lot of bang for the duck.

Directed by Robert McKimson this short has Daffy Duck drawing mustaches on almost every person and billboard in town. Porky Pig is the cop in charge of arresting him. What follows is another classic Daffy Duck and Porky Pig cartoon! The gags are filled with craziness and that's what makes it so humorous.

In some ways, "Daffy Doodles" seems a little more sedate than most of his cartoons, but it pulls off plenty of laughs. In this case, Daffy is a criminal painting moustaches on everyone and everything, while cop Porky tries to find him...if in fact that's possible.

I actually wish that they could have let Daffy go a little crazier here, but his antics make up for any problems. I would hate to have to be Porky and be the recipient of Daffy's gags.

As it is, the end scene reminds me of those instances where some criminal tries to get off scot free by copping an insanity plea or something like that. But anyway, it's a great cartoon.
