| | Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century |
 | | During the 1950s, one of the recurring themes in Warner Bros. cartoons was to cast Daffy Duck as the stalwart (but inept) hero in an adventure story genre, with Porky Pig as his
|
 | | They pursued this theme in westerns, private eye stories and others, but nowhere did the schtick achieve greater success than in the sci-fi mini-epic, Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, which was directed by Chuck Jones and released on July 25, 1953. |
 | | With the TV show a continuing success, Duck Dodgers is now merchandised as a separate character, in toys, coloring books, video games etc. Success was a little slow in coming, but still not bad for a single part in a oneshot cartoon more than half a century old. |
