Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny are Looney Tunes' most recognized faces. Bugs Bunny is calm yet sly while Daffy is animated and hot-headed.
All I will say is the following factors make this a animated masterpiece of the Warner Bros' Looney Tunes history:It's directed by the one and only Chuck Jones (or Charles M. Jones as credited in some of his hilarious works)The style of animation is just a sight to behold, its funny, colorful and plenty of detail to admireIt's Daffy Duck's leading role (my 2nd favourite fictional character in the series) and the idea of him being tormented by the mysterious animator in many hilarious ways is comedic gold!
Daffy is endlessly tormented by an useen animator whom we only find out who it is at the very end. This is one of the Looney Tunes shorts that doesn't really have a plot per say.
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.
"Duck Amuck" is surely one of the most inventive cartoons ever made. Its constant one-upmanship of itself is a joy to behold.
During the dying days of silent film era; Warner Bros Studios wanted to develop a series of animated shorts to promote their synchronized music, much in the same way, Walt Disney Productions achieved showing theirs through the 'Silly Symphonies' program. (1929-1939).
This's an amazing example of what animation can be in the hands of talented artists. Daffy Duck stars in this bizarre short where he's at the mercy of a sadistic cartoonist later revealed to be Bugs Bunny.
There are numerous animated features where the artist takes over the scene, forcing his character to deal with the consequences. In this one, the irrepressible Daffy Duck finds himself in no-duck's land at the whim of an animator.
