Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This 7-minute cartoon from 1958 actually has a bit of a strange premise. Daffy Duck plays Robin Hood or I should maybe say a man in Robin Hood clothes and he tries to convince Porky all film long that he actually is Robin Hood. Of course, it goes all kinds of wrong and his attempts of going against the rich even help them, for example on one occasion when he builds a bridge for the nobleman. But would Robin Hood care if people did not recognize him? Well.. he was rather vain, at least in the famous Errol Flynn movie, so maybe he would. This cartoon was only made 20 years after this famous film. Oh my. Anyway, in the end Daffy realizes it's pointless and finds another position where he will hopefully be more successful. The established trio Jones, Maltese and Blanc made this short film again and it's one of their later works from 1958. I personally did not find this one really funny, there's many better Looney Toons out there. Not recommended.

bob the moo Daffy is a Robin Hood type who fights the sheriff and is famous from his wanted posters. His reputation is given a knock when he falls into a river and is laughed at by a fat friar pig (Porky). All Daffy's attempts to prove himself and impress the jolly Friar just seem to backfire and he can't convince him that he is the Robin Hood that Porky seeks.I'm a really big fan of Daffy Duck and always feel that he is at his best when he is in his early persona of being manic and wacky. Even when he becomes more cynical and greedy he still manages to be one of my favourite Warner Brothers characters. Here he is very much the butt of the film's jokes - a role that I'm never totally happy to see him in as I do like him as a character more than a fall guy. However here the jokes are funny and imaginative so I didn't mind so much in this case. The character he plays is basically a fall guy but the ways in which he falls had me laughing out loud - whether it was the rope swing or the shaft fight, I was loving it!I don't like to see Daffy just plain mocked but he takes it very well here and is funny himself rather than just being a patsy. Porky is also good but doesn't manage to steal the show from Daffy in the way he often can in these combination films of theirs. With no other characters to speak of, Daffy carries the film very well and gets the majority of the laughs - I still prefer to see him giving rather than getting, but this is funny nonetheless.Overall this cartoon is very funny with a good sense of cruel wit running through it. Fans of the original little black duck may be upset to see him take such punishment but I personally was relieved that Daffy managed to make this film as funny as he did.

rbverhoef Daffy Duck claims to be Robin Hood to Friar Tuck (Porky Pig). Tuck wants to join Robin Hood and to prove to Friar Tuck Daffy will steal some gold from a rich man and give it to a poor man. There are a couple of laughs, in the end mostly, but overall it is not that funny.

Squonk This Daffy Duck short is similar in style to Chuck Jones' Road Runner shorts with its unique backgrounds and fast moving gags. I especially like the scene in which Daffy uses his buck and a quarter quarter staff. Also very funny is the character design of the rich traveler Daffy attempts to rob. The unique shape of this character and his horse combined with the way they prance across the screen is a hilarious visual. This is among the best Daffy Duck shorts.
