I Want to Return Return Return

A depiction of the Wrangelkiez neighbourhood in Berlin. The people portrayed tell their life stories. One woman came to the neighbourhood a decade ago to work in Berlin’s still unfinished Brandenburger Airport, one man reminisces his childhood on a Tobacco farm in Kentucky, another speaks of an exceptional day in an otherwise monotonous workplace. These portraits are interwoven with the story of Elpi, a Greek woman who is waiting for the long overdue visit of an old important friend. The outcome of this mixture is a film which captures the lives and perspectives of some of Wrangelkiez’s most commanding citizens, while at the same time evoking the loss that change and time passing means for places and for people.

Daffy Duck is one of Looney Tunes' best, most interesting in personality and most iconic characters and one of my favourites in animation. His best cartoons are cartoon masterpieces and there is good reason as to why Daffy is used frequently.'Scrap Happy Daffy' is not one of his very finest cartoons, but it is still great and an interesting piece of history. It is not subtle in its treatment of Hitler, clearly intentional and not objectionable (if slightly too unsubtle for a cartoon), and paints him in the very opposite of a positive light (then again when was he never not?). Few people are going to object to this portrayal, it is widely acknowledged that Hitler was a terrible man and a cartoon portraying him in this way is for the time quite brave.The animation as to be expected is very good. The black and white is crisp and there is meticulous background detail and smooth character drawing.Carl Stalling to me was always the best Warner Brothers/Looney Tunes composer as well as the most consistent. 'Scrap Happy Daffy' is another example of consistent greatness, his music is lushly orchestration, cleverly synchronised, vibrant, characterful and not only fits and adds to the action but actually enhances it.While there is a seriousness in the message it's portraying, which makes its point but never preachy, 'Scrap Happy Daffy' doesn't forget to be funny. Sometimes it is even hilarious and is timed very well. Daffy has his manic, energetic and witty persona and carries the cartoon with aplomb.Voice acting is very good, superb in the case of Mel Blanc. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Having seen "Daffy - the Commando" and "Scrap Happy Daffy", I think that it's safe to say that that crazy duck was one of the best characters to fight the Nazis (obviously, there was also Bugs). In this case, he collects scrap metal to contribute to the war effort, but Hitler sends a goat after him. If absolutely nothing else, it's just a total hoot to see what Daffy does to the goat.The idea of collecting scrap metal also brings up the point that in WWII, the government encouraged people to save resources as much as possible. I don't see any of that nowadays. In the future, they're not going to look kindly upon this.But anyway, it's a really funny cartoon. Definitely worth seeing. And just be careful what you dream about next time.

Another of the long forgotten Warner propaganda cartoons - like THE DUCKTATORS it is black and white, not in color. However, it is more concentrated in story line (oddly enough) than THE DUCKTATORS. Daffy is in charge of the scrap metal collection, and has a mountain of tin and iron and copper and the rest (from a distance it looks like the Statue of Liberty). A headline shows that Daffy claims it helped unseat Mussolini (in 1943 Il Duce was thrown out of his job as "Prime Minister" of Italy, and imprisoned - subsequently the Nazis freed him for awhile, but in 1945 he'd be killed by partisans). Hitler reads that Daffy claims it will do the same to Hitler. So the Fuhrer orders the destruction of Daffy's junk piles. We see the order sent through several layers of German officials (the second is the fat, broad front of Herman Goering - but we don't see his face). A special U-boat is sent to "torpedo" the pile. The torpedo contains a secret weapon - a goat!The goat does damage, and when Daffy tries to confront it he knocks the duck about. Daffy is about to give in when he is confronted by various historical ancestors (Pilgrim, Revolutionary Soldier, Frontiersman, an "Abe Lincoln" clone, a "John Paul Jones" clone) restore his self respect - he turns into super-duck and destroys the goat and the submarine...or he thinks he did when he wakes up from a nap. Did it happen or not? I leave that for you to find out.

This cartoon, appropriately and effectively in black and white, is a World War II patriotic short, with Daffy needing to protect his scrap pile (for the war effort) from a very hungry Nazi goat. The pep rally conducted by Daffy's ancestors is a highlight of the short and the ending is marvelous. Well worth the time and effort to find. Most highly recommended.
