Featured review
Genre: Cartoon, old animation, hunting, funny.
Actors: Mel Blanc (Daffy Duck and fox), Arthur Q. Bryan (Elmer Fudd).
Main characters: Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and the fox.
What happens: For Daffy Duck in one of his older episodes, life's pretty tough at the moment for him because it's DUCK SEASON. He has to perform all these tricks, just to take a shower. Unfortunately, it doesn't work, as two unruly hunters, a fox and a human (Elmer Fudd), find him there
Message: It is polite not to hunt ducks.
My thoughts: "What Makes Daffy Duck" being in my top ten favourites, this particular episode is very likable (I even liked it slightly more than some episodes when I didn't like Daffy Duck in general!). I like the old animation of Daffy Duck, he's all wonky unlike in his later cartoons with Charles M. Jones etc (I think Arthur Davis saw Daffy better with a wonkier style, even in the '60's). Also, not ONCE is Daffy shot but survives, unlike in a lot of later episodes. He is also more wily, cheeky and less stubborn than in his later episodes, which I like A LOT. Also, it is quite a funny episode, but not the most funny ever. What more do I have to say? I like Daffy, I like the animation and I like the humour! :-)
Recommended to: People who prefer the older Daffy Duck to the newer one, people who like watching old cartoons and people who prefer Elmer Fudd not butting in so much, if you know what I mean and I recommend this to people who like funny cartoons! Enjoy! :-)
8 and a half out of 10.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDaffy calls Elmer Fudd by his first name several times in this short. He also breaks the fourth wall briefly at the very end of the cartoon and addresses the audience. And the fox sounds like an early incarnation of the dog character, Foghorn Leghorn's nemesis.
- GoofsElmer is carrying a double barrel shotgun. But at one time he uses a slide action to load the shotgun. Shotguns can either be double barrel or slide action (in which case it has only one barrel). But there is no such thing as a double barrel slide action shotgun.
- Quotes
Daffy Duck: Let us flee to glamorous Hollywood. I can get you a screen test with Warner Brothers.
