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

I am a very odd Looney Tunes fan. I love Looney Tunes for the reasons that most people do not like it. I like it mainly for the animation, non-slapstick jokes and the historical value. I am also a huge fan of Daffy Duck, but only in certain cartoons (I do not like Daffy Duck very much at all when he is being greedy and cruel, even though it is funny). In this cartoon, it was almost as if the Daffy, in both personality and animation style, was created for me. He was brilliant, I loved the little black duck in this cartoon. Even though there are many Daffy Duck cartoons I prefer to this one (do not ask me why, I have no idea), but this is the cartoon where I feel the personality of Daffy has been conjured toward his best and most entertaining. :-)

Anyhow, I also enjoyed this cartoon for Porky (who does not bring on much humour but has an admirable personality), the setting (New York City), the animation and the theme of the episode - painting moustaches on every face! Classic!

In this Daffy Duck episode, we are greeted with some sort of news headline, about a criminal in an "Eastern City" (lol), who is painting moustaches on every face. We meet Daffy Duck, who is the criminal and explains to the audience that everyone has a purpose in life - and his is to paint moustaches. Odd? It becomes better...

I recommend this to people who like the crazier Daffy Duck who is still easy to relate to, Porky Pig and Looney Tunes in general. The good thing about this cartoon for certain people is that there are quite a deal of farce and slapstick jokes. I did not particularly enjoy these myself, finding them laboriously repetitive, but other people will like them. Enjoy "Daffy Doodles"! :-)

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.

This cartoon has great energy, and was one of Robert McKimson's greatest cartoons. This hilarious cartoon shows Daffy acting the way he should, daffy. Also "Daffy Doodles" has wonderful animation, such as a rooftop chase sequence!

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.
