Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Winifred 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.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . Daffy Duck demands of hunter Elmer Fudd at the outset of TO DUCK . . . OR NOT TO DUCK. For years Disney families had wanted Bambi's clan to be able to exercise their Second Amendment Rights. (If the Bambis had turned out to be dyed-in-the-wool pacifists, Thumper-with-a-Thompson-Sub-Machinegun would be the next best thing.) Unfortunately, things have not turned out as Hunky Dory for humans in Real Life as they seem to be at the end of DUCK. America's Critters increasingly are resorting to Biological Warfare in a coordinated campaign that may have Humanity closer to the Brink of Extinction than we think. In clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, Elsie and her cohorts are threatening people with the incurable, inevitably fatal Mad Cow Disease every time we gulp down a burger. Squirrels in Kentucky have jumped on this Prion sneak attack bandwagon for anyone eating their state stew. Bambi's descendants are helping to spread Lyme Disease all over America. Pigs are vying with our feathered "friends" to see which can mutate a flu virus into an airborne Super Bug lethal to humans. With food sources such as these, who needs enemies?

slymusic Directed by Chuck Jones, "To Duck....or Not to Duck" is a Daffy Duck/Elmer Fudd cartoon that is not Warner Bros.' finest hour, but then, even the best in the business (like Chuck) have their failures now and then. The problem with this particular cartoon is that it doesn't really go anywhere. Daffy challenges Fudd to a boxing match, in which the hapless hunter is absolutely no match for the swaggering duck.Only two scenes in this short that I find funny: First, at the very opening, Daffy frolics and sings while flying, and he points out the "duck shot" that narrowly misses him. And second, after Daffy says to Elmer "A great sportsman, eh?", Daffy is hilarious as he rapidly grunts and wildly gyrates his body.I can't really recommend "To Duck....or Not to Duck" very highly, but if you wish to see it for yourselves, at least there'll be no harm done. Catch it on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6 Disc 1.

MartinHafer I guess I might have enjoyed this cartoon a lot more if it weren't for the fact that there were so many better Looney Toons cartoons that also paired Daffy and Elmer Fudd. The most famous of these later pairings also included Bugs Bunny and it was all about whether or not it was duck or rabbit hunting season. There also was another where Elmer took Daffy home after a hunt and Daffy pretended to be Santa! Both of these are classics.As for this cartoon, the animation isn't quite as pretty as some of the cartoons from the late 40s, but it's still awfully good. The story begins with Elmer and his dog hunting. Daffy is hit and caught but he begins to verbally attack Elmer for "unsportsman-like behavior" and challenges him to a very one-sided and obviously fixed boxing match--with another duck as the referee. The laughs are there and there is a lot to like--but I never loved this or laughed like I did for the later times that I saw these two great Looney Tunes characters together.

wgviper13 A great cartoon. The unpredictable set-up (Daffy backs Elmer through the marsh up into a boxing ring!) begins a hilarious pro-duck boxing match. Elmer is of course, completely over-matched and clueless (but surprisingly gets back and Daffy and Co. at the end), and Daffy has a funny line to the audience-"Ain't he a dope?". The referee is a strong, (literally) well-rounded character, too. But the best line might be from Laramor the dog, "There's something screwy about this fight, or my name isn't Laramor...and it isn't". I know that they can't have them all on the Golden Collection, but this, among other early 40s' shorts should have been included and hopefully will be available soon on DVD.
