Revision as of 09:38, 3 August 2002 by Ortolan88 (talk | contribs) (nat film registry bit, link to nonexistent Duck Amuck)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Daffy Duck is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes series of cartoons. Most of Daffy's cartoons were directed by Chuck Jones and his voice was provided by Mel Blanc.
Unlike Bugs Bunny who represents victory. Daffy Duck represents defeat. He is well known for messing up situations that he is in. He appears with Bugs Bunny in a number of cartoons in which Bugs ends up in the advantage. He also appears with Porky Pig in a number of parodies of television and movie genres of the 1940s and 1950s.
In his early career Daffy was merely irascible, not unlike Donald, but Jones's direction revealed a deeper duck. His appearance in Duck Amuck (1953) where an animator torments him by constantly changing his clothing, location, appearance, and even shape, is accounted a classic of filmmaking. At the end, the animator is revealed to be Bugs. Duck Amuck has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
