So much average

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

This is a 7-minute animated short film from over 60 years ago and it may very well be the most known one including everybody's favorite (non-Disney) duck. The fact that a short cartoon becomes induced into the National Film registry already says it all pretty much. It's a very inventive movie and there is something happening constantly. The setting is changed, Daffy's costume is changed or he transforms into an entirely different character. Also the filmmakers played a bit with colors and, more notably, with sound here. Daffy has the voice of a cock at one point. The filmmaker team are the usual Warner Bros. guys again: Jones, Maltese and Blanc who worked on hundreds (or in Blanc's case) of movies. I enjoyed watching this one, but still I feel it is slightly overrated. People should not mistake the inclusion of the pen (led by Bugs Bunny) for one of the greatest cartoons ever made just because the other ones do not include the drawing artist behind the cartoon. With that being said, I still recommend these 7 minutes.

Duck Amuck is a brilliantly done cartoon. Too often cartoons are just seen as a bunch of random wacky jokes, but Chuck Jones adds another level: character driven comedy. To be sure, this cartoon is VERY wacky. But but what makes this cartoon really work is the exploration of the character of Daffy Duck. Chuck Jones was the driving force behind Daffy's change from a hyperactive, insane character who harassed others for no apparent reason into the scheming, easily angered, self centered character he is best known as today. In Duck Amuck, Jones crystallizes his vision for Daffy's new direction, showing him as a character who wishes to put on a good show for his audience, but is so easily frustrated that everything seems to be working against him. Instead of going with the flow, he flies off the handle at everything that goes wrong, which in turn is worsened by whoever is doing all of this stuff to him. In his best characterization, Daffy manages to be sympathetic enough that the audience still roots for him, even though he probably deserves whatever he has coming to him. In his worst characterization, his greediness and anger take over to the point he becomes completely unsympathetic. This cartoon and the so-called "Hunter's Trilogy" feature Daffy's best characterization, the cartoons featuring Daffy and Speedy Gonzales made in the mid 1960's have the worst.

In 1924, Buster Keaton fell asleep during a film screening and suddenly found himself stepping into the movie screen. As the picture desperately attempted to eject its unexpected guest, an unfortunate Keaton found himself unpredictably teleported from one location to the next, taking a beating at every turn. 'Duck Amuck (1953),' a Warner Bros. "Merrie Melodies" animated short, was directed by Chuck Jones, and toys with a similar idea. Breaking the fourth, fifth and sixth walls of the cinema screen, Jones engineered a cleverly self-referential farce, in which Daffy Duck is unceremoniously "jerked around" by a mischievous animator who doesn't want to adhere to traditional animation guidelines.As the animator regularly switches Daffy's background, sound effects, clothing and physical form, the exasperated cartoon character must feverishly improvise every scene. Whenever the story begins to regain some sense of normality, Daffy finds his circumstances suddenly altered again, and the repeated changes lead towards steadily-escalating feelings of resentment towards the animator. 'Duck Amuck' really is a marvellous piece of abstract cinema, as Daffy continually speaks, not only directly to his animator, but also to the audience sitting down in the cinema. Mel Blanc, of course, provides the film's vocal characterisations, and he does an excellent job of translating the incredible frustration that poor Daffy is feeling.Though perhaps not as "laugh-out-loud" hilarious as I've heard many people describe it, 'Duck Amuck' is such a brilliant cartoon that multiple viewings are certainly required. Much fun is had with the traditional conventions of cartoon animation, such as the definition of a close-up, the perils of a consistently-changing setting, and the trouble that ensues when a Merrie Melody tries to end before the cartoon character is ready to leave. The ending (the second one) was terrific, and, believe it or not, I didn't see it coming. Chuck Jones remains American animation's brightest spark, and I look forward to enjoying a few more of his entertaining works.

In this cartoon, Daffy Duck constantly get's tortured by the animator. Daffy keeps complaining to the animator, but no matter what, the animator always manages to outsmart him, often by either painting him or erasing him. At the end, the animator turns out to be Bugs Bunny.This is a really hilarious cartoon. It's one of the best Daffy Duck cartoons ever, and also one of Chuck Jones' best. It's too bad that this cartoon didn't even get an Oscar nomination. I mean, this didn't get nominated, and Knighty Knight Bugs won an Oscar? How shameful!One of the funniest scenes in this cartoon is a scene in which the screen goes up a few times, until it get's stuck and the screen is split into two halves, with Daffy in the bottom half and his feet in the top half, and then both images of Daffy start arguing with each other.A few years later, Bugs Bunny starred in a similar cartoon, Rabbit Rampage. That is good too, but not as good as this cartoon.
