Duck Amuck (1953)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The short-tempered Daffy Duck must improvise madly as the backgrounds, his costumes, the soundtrack, even his physical form, shifts and changes at the whim of the animator.Although I was never big on Looney Tunes, I saw most of them. Maybe all of them. And some are clearly more memorable than others. This has to rank among the most memorable of all, because it just had such a strange approach to the whole idea of cartoons.Maybe now it is not too odd to break the fourth wall, or manipulate cartoons. It has happened. And in some cases, they sure have gotten much stranger. But Daffy as that weird flower creature? What the heck is that? Chuck Jones (or whomever) was going beyond Dali and others and just being quite surreal.

It's Daffy Duck versus his sadistic animator in one of the all-time greatest Looney Tunes cartoons. It's a brilliant and experimental short from the great Chuck Jones. It's very creative and very funny from beginning to end. The animation is gorgeous. Everything is constantly changing (backgrounds, Daffy's appearance, etc). The music is wonderful. Mel Blanc's voicework is, of course, perfect. The script is hilarious and full of great lines. Love the ending. I just can't see a single thing wrong with this classic cartoon. It would spawn many copycats over the years in various mediums. Even Jones himself would go back to the idea with Rabbit Rampage a couple of years later. It's one of my top five Looney Tunes shorts and, I think, the best solo Daffy cartoon ever made.

In this cartoon, Daffy Duck constantly get's tortured by the animator. Daffy keeps complaining to the animator, but no matter what, the animator always manages to outsmart him, often by either painting him or erasing him. At the end, the animator turns out to be Bugs Bunny.This is a really hilarious cartoon. It's one of the best Daffy Duck cartoons ever, and also one of Chuck Jones' best. It's too bad that this cartoon didn't even get an Oscar nomination. I mean, this didn't get nominated, and Knighty Knight Bugs won an Oscar? How shameful!One of the funniest scenes in this cartoon is a scene in which the screen goes up a few times, until it get's stuck and the screen is split into two halves, with Daffy in the bottom half and his feet in the top half, and then both images of Daffy start arguing with each other.A few years later, Bugs Bunny starred in a similar cartoon, Rabbit Rampage. That is good too, but not as good as this cartoon.

"Duck Amuck" is a classic Daffy Duck cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. This hilarious entry in the Warner Bros. cartoon series is basically a one-joke picture. (If you haven't seen it yet, please DO NOT read on.) An unidentified cartoonist (to be identified at the end) takes advantage of the constantly squealing Daffy by altering the scenery, the sound, the props, and even Daffy's color and body shape.Here are some of my favorite gags from this short. It opens with Daffy trying his hand at legitimate acting but being a constant victim of abrupt changes in scenery (medieval castle grounds, a farm, a snowfield, and a Hawaiian island) and having to adjust his wardrobe and props accordingly. Suddenly dressed as a sailor, Daffy begins to sing a familiar seafaring song, until he realizes he's not standing on any island and plunges into the water! And as Daffy opens his parachute, the unidentified cartoonist erases the parachute and substitutes an anvil! I don't think I have seen "Duck Amuck" since I was a kid, and I am pleased to see it restored on DVD (Disc 2 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1). In my opinion, it is well worth watching for a lot of laughs.
