De Cacería de Patos Locos

Porky is in the blinds duck hunting. Daffy sneaks up from behind and empties his shotgun shells, saying, "Duck hunters is the cwaziest people."

The cocky Daffy then flies overhead and announces, "Here I am, fat boy. Here's your target!" Then, even more of an outrageous scene, Daffy reappears in back of Porky, dons a frilly skirt and sings a can-can. He then "moons" the pig with a bullseye drawn on his butt (knowing the shells are blanks). Porky shoots, Daffy dramatically pretends he is hit, but flies away laughing. Porky is ticked off, to say the least!!! He sends his dog out after him.

The dog is smarter than Porky and fools Daffy and a couple more minutes of fantastic material is presented. The first four minutes of this seven-minute short are about as good as it gets. The last three minutes are so-so. Overall, still very entertaining.

Daffy Duck lets a dog take him home, under the pretense that the dog caught him for Porky Pigs supper, only to be trapped there when the dog won't let him leave. This is vintage wacky Daffy all the way. Almost makes me forget that McKimson directed it. Actually in this short Daffy may be even a little too nuts for my liking in some respects. But the film does move at a pretty good clip and is frequently quite funny indeed, so i'll recommend it, just steer clear of McKimson's Bugs Bunny shorts. This animated short can be found on disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1.

My Grade: B

I think this is the only short where The barnyard dog does not co star with Foghorn Leghorn. I like it when daffy calls the dog lassie. I find the plot where daffy is making noise in order to get porky's attention to the pluto cartoon 'Pantry Pirate'. I like the ending where the iris closes on daffys eye.

Porky Pig and his loyal dog are out hunting duck. However, of all the possible ducks they could go after, it's just bad luck that they go after the craziest duck in the swamp - Daffy Duck! And Daffy is too much of a wise-quacker to get caught easily by anyone.

I'm a big fan of Daffy Duck but I vastly prefer him when he is in fully `crazy' mood, doing all sorts of manic things; I find that much funnier than his later greedy & selfish personae. Here he is spot on in his crazy personae and he totally makes this cartoon work. The plot is split between the hunt and Porky's house (where Daffy gets taken in an agreement with the dog). While the hunt section is funny, the stuff in the house is much better and is a perfect forum for Daffy to do his stuff. It is funny and imaginative throughout.

Daffy is great here and his manic actions and delivery are hilarious. Porky is not a great character but he is good in a solid partnership; here then, he works and reacts well to the action. The downtrodden dog is good but I must admit that I didn't like some of his voice work here in comparison to some other Daffy shorts I have seen him in.

Overall, for true Daffy Duck fans (i.e. those who appreciate him when he is daffy) this cartoon will be hilarious. For those who have yet to be won over by the little black duck, this will surely help you come round to my way of thinking. Personally, `I like him; he's silly.'

...I thought it would be too much of a remake of "Porky's Duck Hunt", which is what this episode is partly based on. P'sDH was Daffy's debut and I was afraid that this episode would just redo it as "Dough for the Do-do" did. Luckily - the plot turned dramatically and most of the episode was hardly like P'sDH at all! :-)

In this episode, we first see Porky and his dog out hunting ducks. Daffy, of course, comes along and ruins Porky's chances without him realizing it by taking out the gunpowder in his cartridges. Despite this, Porky's dog manages to catch Daffy and he is taken to Porky's house, where his two new enemies plan to eat him...

I thought some of the jokes here were pretty good - in addition to a good plot line. There were a few repeated jokes became very boring for me, but the end is one of the best I have yet seen in Looney Tunes. The animation was good as well. It may be a shock for certain people to see Porky with a darker heart, but I can tell you, he is like this in many previous episodes and it does make him a stronger character.

I recommend this to people who like Daffy, Porky being mean and faithful cartoon dogs. Enjoy "Daffy Duck Hunt"! :-)
