Such a frustrating disappointment

Admirable film.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

. . . Daffy Duck says as a smug aside to viewers after out-foxing both Elmer Fudd and an actual fox at the end of WHAT MAKES DAFFY DUCK? As always, Millennials "in the know" will not need to drill down very far beneath the surface to decipher which upcoming 21st Century American Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti the always Cassandra-like Looney Tuners meant to portend with WHAT, especially if they watched this Nov. 18, 2016. That's the date Abe Lincoln tipped over in his Springfield, IL, tomb, as his successor 28 times removed (that is, President-Elect Rump) declared Open Season on ALL U.S. Citizens of Color (denoted by Daffy's dark coloration) with the appointment of a one-time Klansman as U.S. Attorney General. This means that 1,038 pending prosecutions for violations of Constitutional Amendments Nos. 13-15 will be dropped come Jan 20. "Title" searches are now underway at Ancestry.com for some of the most potentially "lucrative" American Blacks (including Oprah, LeBron, and Denzel) as Lazy Racist Southerners assume that Rump will use the U.S. Supreme Court pick stolen from Obama to appoint an even more Rabid "Originalist" than was the late Justice Scalia. This newcomer will lead the drive to nullify Lincoln's Legacy and the Sacrifice of 300,000 Union Martyrs to return to our Original U.S. Constitution,, every word of which was written by Lazy Racist Southerners.

It's duck season and Daffy finds himself in danger, not only from hunter Elmer Fudd, but also from a hungry fox. So he does what any sensible duck would do and tries to pit his two enemies against one another. It's a very good short, directed by Arthur Davis, with Daffy throwing out one funny line after another. Elmer and the fox are both enjoyable but this is Daffy's show. He's at his manic best here. I don't think he shuts up for more than two seconds the whole cartoon! The animation is beautiful with nice colors and well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Carl Stalling's music perfectly matches the action. The voice work, from legends Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan, is flawless. A fun cartoon Daffy fans will love. And remember, ladies (and moronic hunters disguised as ducks), never fall for the "I can get you a screen test for Warner Bros." routine.

This is a wonderful Daffy Duck cartoon, that is everything I like in a typical Looney Tunes cartoon, it is witty, fast paced, quick-witted and funny. Daffy himself is brilliant, manic and hysterical and Mel Blanc's voicing is one of the best assets to a short that is already perfect. Fox and Elmer are effective supporting characters, and make the most of the rapid and razor sharp material. Great music, a simple and fun story and fluid animation are other things to like about "What Makes Daffy Duck".Overall, this is a great cartoon, and I do recommend it! 10/10 Bethany Cox

It's duck season and, confidentially, Daffy is a duck. His problems are greater than usual when he is hunted by both Elmer Fudd and a fox. More than a match for one duck you would say? Not when the duck is as tricky as Daffy who sets about turning the two hunters against one another.I love Daffy Duck, but I greatly prefer him when he is crazy, in his early days - not only do I prefer his character but also the cartoons seemed to have more value placed upon them. Here we have such a cartoon. Daffy sums up the material best himself when he says `typical of the little black duck' as he spills oil to slip his captor. The gags are good as Daffy uses his crazy imagination to outsmart his captors - in a way it's like Bugs Bunny but Daffy has the added benefit of being absolutely off his head! This is very funny - I'm biased as I am a fan but I guess even those with a passing liking for the duck will enjoy this.Elmer and the fox are both pretty good - they have the ability to give as good as they get and give the impression that they are a physical match for Daffy and it's only his mental superiority that saves him. As said, Daffy is always at his best when he is slightly loony and that's just what he does here. He is funny, quick witted and a really fun character.Overall, this is typical of the little black duck - fast, witty, imaginative and crazily funny! An enjoyable outing for Daffy Duck that will easily please fans and hopefully win new ones.
