MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . throughout YANKEE DOODLE DAFFY, primarily on the basis of relative body mass. Just because he's a scrawny Ectomorph, the more limber Daffy thinks he can pull rank on Hollywood "Smeller Pictures" producer Porky, even though agent Daffy represents fourth-rate talents at best. Daffy barges into Porky's office without an appointment, and stymies the busy pig from keeping his flight schedule. (Later, Daffy does away with the flight crew of Porky's charter--off-screen--and kidnaps the Tinseltown exec while flying the purloined plane himself.) Somewhere during these proceedings, Daffy barks, "Just a minute, Chubby!" Pew polling in the 1930s showed that Porky Pig was the Number One Role Model for American kids, mainly because he looked well-fed (unlike many of them and their peers in the Depression-ravaged U.S.). So when Daffy attacks Porky with a disparaging "Chubby," it's tantamount to an assault on ALL half-pint Yankee Doodle Dandies. It staggers the mind that the U.S. War Department Censors allowed this renegade "Chubby" to sneak through under their noses, with likely "fatso's," "Lard-grasses," and "tubby's" lurking around the corner to hurt the self-esteem of future recruits!

Mightyzebra An earlier Daffy Duck episode, this topsy turvy, wild Daffy Duck short will entertain some and annoy others. As bob the moo (on this site) is constantly putting forward, Daffy is always crazier in his early days. This is one of the cases. Many people may be irritated by the fact that Porky is being annoyed by Daffy, but if you look aside, you will see brilliant gags, an entertaining plot and good music featured. This is my favourite Daffy Duck episode due to the music, Daffy's crazy personality - and that is about it. Very well worth watching!In this, Daffy is an Actor's Agent representing a small duck (with a huge lollipop) to Porky, a talent scout. Using the most crazy, fun and musical ways imaginable, Daffy shows Porky what the small duck can do. At the same time though - Porky has a plane to catch...For Daffy Duck fans who prefer the crazier little black duck and for people who like music in cartoons. Enjoy! :-)

slymusic "Yankee Doodle Daffy" is quite an excellent Warner Bros. cartoon starring two of our favorite characters, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, both voiced by that magnificent "Man of a Thousand Voices," Mel Blanc. Porky is the president of Smeller Productions, and he so looks forward to his day off. He doesn't get it, though, thanks to Daffy, a severely pushy talent agent, trying to impress Porky with his brand new find, a kid duckling who only cares about his lollipop.Highlights: Upon Daffy's first appearance, he puts away Porky's suitcases, golf clubs, and cap, all in rhythm to Carl Stalling's humorous musical accompaniment. Daffy dresses up in a Carmen Miranda outfit and sings a song with incredibly rapid lyrics, beginning and ending with "Boom chicky boom chicky boom!" Daffy makes up his own words to the William Tell Overture while galloping after Porky down a few flights of stairs; he then ends his song with a couple bars of pure swing."Yankee Doodle Daffy" was directed by Friz Freleng, and no wonder. Friz was a genuine music lover, a pure "song-and-dance man" who knew how to incorporate music in his cartoons better than any other director.

movieman_kev Daffy Duck won't leave producer, Porky Pig alone in trying to get Porky to hire his young client, who seems content to just suck on his over-sized lollipop. Daffy goes crazy as only he can singing and dancing to get his client a chance and when Porky finally relents, the little brat chokes. Daffy just can't win. There are a few laughs scattered here and there, but overall this short didn't do much for me and it probably will do nothing for you. Only the truly die-hard Daffy Duck fans will be happy with him this time out. And I like the character a lot. This cartoon is on Disk 2 of the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1" My Grade: C
