	Daffy Duck
		Daffy Duck is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes series of cartoons.
		When audiences left the theaters, they could not stop talking about (as Porky Pig puts it) "that crazy, darnfool duck." This early Daffy is not a handsome creature; he is short and pudgy, with stubby legs and beak.
		"Duck Amuck" is widely heralded as a classic of filmmaking for its illustration that a character's personality can be recognized independently of appearance, setting, voice, and plot.

	A Tribute to Chuck Jones - The Bad Movie Report (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Though he was a proven moneymaker in short subjects, Duck was untried as the star of a feature, and his unswerving demands that he also be allowed to direct did not exactly advance the cause.
		Duck certainly proves he has the flair and skills to be a swashbuckling hero, though his and Jones' tendency to go for the laugh (to be fair, necessitated by the format) short-circuits his heroism, at least on the surface.
		To his credit, Duck was one of the first by his bedside, and to this day, the two share a warm friendship, meeting every Wednesday evening to play chess and watch Law and Order*.

	Feature Article on Chuck Jones (Site not responding. Last check: )
		'Duck Amuck' has been seen as everything from a pure piece of animation (a cartoonists cartoon as it were) to a philosophical statement on creation and existentialism.
		'Duck Amuck' is Jones' most theorized about film and it alone would warrant him a place in animation history but in a testament to Jones' talent, creativity and energy there are literally dozens of other shorts in his cannon that can be looked to for inspiration or a simple smile.
		Elmer is hunting rabbits and then ducks and then rabbits again as Daffy and Bugs continually spin the world around turning each other into the target.

	Daffy Duck!

		In Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century (1953) Daffy trades barbs (and bullets) with Marvin the Martian.
		For instance in one cartoon set in the desert, Daffy Duck is determined to keep the mice away from a desperately needed well for seemingly its own sake to the point where he attempts to destroy it after getting the water he needs, forcing Speedy to stop him.

		Daffy's first appearance was in director Tex Avery's Porky's Duck Hunt (1937).
		In Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century (1953) and Rocket Squad (1956), he was cast as an incompetent hero with Porky as his more-capable sidekick.

		Daffy, as Duck Dodgers, faces off against Marvin the Martian in the 1953 short Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, a parody of Buck Rogers.
		Daffy was the first of the new breed of "screwball" characters that emerged in the 1930s and supplanted traditional "everyman" characters, such as Mickey Mouse, in popularity in the 1940s.
		This is evident in Jones's Duck Amuck (1953), "one of the few unarguable masterpieces of American animation," according to Schneider.

	The Complete History Of Daffy Duck
		Daffy Duck cartoons were a staple on television packages of Looney Tunes cartoons since the 1960 when the Bugs Bunny show first appeared on television.
		The second came in 1988, called "Daffy Duck's Quackbusters." This is considered one of the best of the looney compilation movies, using "Daffy Dilly" and the previous years' theatrical shorts "The Duxorcist" and "Night Of the Living Duck" as the major plotline cartoons.
		Daffy Duck has been involved in almost every era of Warner Brothers animation, the character has adapted to whatever style a time period called for, and has remained one of the greatest and best-loved cartoon stars of all time.

		There is also a rather cute bit where the guy's expressions suddenly change, when he first sees the train, as it appears you can see the fingers of someone off-camera changing the cels/drawings to show the proper shockful-looking face.

	On "Daffy Duck in Hollywood"
		Daffy Duck’s voice seems consistent in its cycle of inflation by allusion to chivalric romance, followed by farcical deflation, while at the same time these contrasts seem far too great to subsume under any notion of a coherent speaker.
		The title, "Daffy Duck in Hollywood," in its specification of speaker and situation, promises a dramatic monologue, but what the poem delivers cannot be brought together within [Cleanth] Brooks and [Robert Penn] Warren’s notions of "fundamental character and situation" [as outlined in Understanding Poetry, the fundamental textbook of New Critical reading].
		The poem’s contrasts reflect those of its source, which is not so much Tex Avery’s 1938 cartoon "Daffy Duck in Hollywood" as Chuck Jones’s celebrated "Duck Amuck" of 1953.

	Chuck Jones
		It is not just the duck, after all, who ends up clinging to a root in empty space at the end of Duck Dodgers, but Marvin and Porky, too.
		Jones' characters were thus designed knowingly as virtual avatars of his own unknown life: their possibility was usually found in some intimate impossibility he would discover within himself, some fragment of himself that he would see escaping himself in the mirror.
		Every animator is, at least potentially, a cosmocrator, a master of his own virtual universe, an all-powerful creator-destroyer, and Jones seems to have been particularly (and ironically) aware of this (and not only in Duck Amuck, when Bugs the cartoon-director invisibly plays out his worst tendencies upon the flat body of poor Daffy the cartoon-actor).

	Vintage Image of the Day: Duck Amuck - Cinematical
		Animator Chuck Jones was born on this day in 1912 and directed nearly 300 short and feature length cartoons for film and TV before his death in 2002.
		Duck Amuck is one of the best films I've ever seen, regardless of length.
		While I'm partial to Duck Dodgers and the 24th 1/2 century (or Daffy's battle with the big red hairy monster), Duck Amuck is really creative for its time, without being all ADHD like the Metro stuff from Tex Avery coming out at the same time.
