Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . that the Dastardliest Disasters, the Bloodcurdlingiest Carnivals of Carnage, and the Costliest Catastrophes always seemed to be happening in the presence of Super Heroes. It doesn't really matter if Earth's reputed "saviors" come from D.C. Comics or the Marvel Universe, the recipe for Mayhem and Destruction is pretty much the same: When the Costume Queens suit up, Apocalyptic Chaos is on stand-by, with Anarchaic Armegeddon waiting in the wings. A Super Hero did NOT bring down Hitler. Rather, the self-proclaimed "Fuhrer of the Thousand-Year-Reich" was done in by an army of Average Joes, drafted from the farm fields, marching bands, and barber shops of Real Life. Most people suspected of having Super Hero tendencies get burned at the stake, like Joan D'Arc. To drive all of this home, Warner tries to parry the counter-intuitive if not mindless Super Hero Worship of the other Tinseltown Fantasy Factories by offering the always hapless Daffy Duck in this STUPOR DUCK role. Whether it's Undemolishing imploded high-rises, raising "sinking" submarines, or riding North Korean "attack rockets" to the moon, STUPOR DUCK always manages to be in the wrong place at the worst time. Daffy may not be as much of a Threat to Civilization as Superman, Ironman, Batman, or Captain America, but that ain't saying much.

utgard14 Mild-mannered newspaper reporter Cluck Trent overhears a television program and mistakenly believes the villain on the show is real. So he changes into his super-powered alter-ego Stupor Duck and flies off in search of the fictional villain. He finds himself in one mess after another in his attempts to foil what he thinks are the villain's plans but are really something else entirely, like a building being demolished and a rocket being sent to the moon by the government.Hilarious Daffy Duck parody of Superman. Being a lifelong fan of Supes, I naturally adored this short. It's a hoot with Daffy making an idiot of himself repeatedly as only he could. The animation is wonderful with nice colors and good action. The voicework from Mel Blanc and Daws Butler is great. A funny short that Daffy and Superman fans will want to check out.

slymusic Directed beautifully by Robert McKimson, "Stupor Duck" is a fine Daffy Duck cartoon that casts him in the familiar blue suit & red cape, disguised as mild-mannered newspaper reporter Cluck Trent. This short is full of wonderful moments of confidence in Stupor Duck's face as he addresses the audience, which I always love to see cartoon characters do. But, as we've come to learn from the screen character of Daffy Duck, he is completely wrong for the job of a superhero.My favorite moments from "Stupor Duck" include: Daffy crashing through a window (reminiscent of the Three Stooges) and slamming into a building; Daffy leaping over a tall building and getting his cape caught on a flagpole; Daffy mistakenly donning a witch's outfit from the broom closet; and the trapdoor on Daffy's costume opening as he prepares to save a collapsing building.Enjoy "Stupor Duck" on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 Disc 1. Be sure to laugh out loud at Daffy Duck's incompetence!

jfyoung-1 Daffy Duck had many great cartoons, but some of the best ones were ones in which he played ridiculous parts like in "Robin Hood Daffy" or "Drip-Along Daffy", etc. However, almost all of those cartoons were directed by the late great Chuck Jones. This one, "Stupor Duck", was an exception as Bob McKimson directed it. Yet, it follows the same pattern as Daffy, despite his great power, is hopelessly overmatched as a super hero, especially against a non-existent villain that he overhears on a TV set. The animation on this cartoon is great for 1956 compared to other late WB cartoons. All in all, a Daffy cartoon that is must-see if you are a fan of the little black duck.
