An unexpected masterpiece

A Disappointing Continuation

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Yes its the BEST looney tunes movie. The other honorable mention being Bugs and Roadrunner Movie.. it was spoiled on a lot of use because terrible precursors like fantasy island etc made us wrench a few years prior. However this one is actually kind of good. Not to mention basically a finale for Mel Blanc. Worth checking out! The other reviewers cant honestly tell all the old skits from the wraparound story.. duxorcist was a year prior and reworked as the bulk of the wraparound story but was not canon to quackbusters..

Daffy Duck opens a "ghostbusting" service and employs Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig. This is just an excuse to link together some old Warner Bros. cartoons dealing with monsters, ghosts and such. The new material is dreadful--full of bad jokes and so-so animation. Even worse is almost all the cartoons they picked are pretty bad. The worst is with Daffy as "The Duxorcist". The best is Porky and Sylvester spending the night in a haunted hotel. Since these were made at different eras the animation varies from OK to excellent. Kids might enjoy this but the best way to see these cartoons are one at a time--not all mashed together with poor connection material. I give this a 3.

This is one of several Looney Tunes compilations made by Warner brothers in the 80s, and it was the one I watched the most- and still do when it's on TV- as a youth. It's another example from the others of old 50s cartoons put together into a plot that is meant just to string one short to the next, with Mel Blanc's obviously inconsistent voice filling in. Not that his voice at 80 is hard to take at all, but it does become jarring on repeat viewings to suddenly get that age gap just in-between lines of dialog, as if we as the audience didn't notice. The story for the film springs off from a short where Daffy- selling goofy objects on the cheap- tries to sucker JP Cubish for all of his loot by getting him to laugh (which he does finally, hilariously, by getting hit with pies). He leaves his fortune to Daffy with the provision that he use it in a 'service' kind of fashion. So, he opens up shop as a Ghostbuster racket, hiring out Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig for odd jobs out in Transylvania and haunted houses. It all leads up, in the end, to a humiliation due to a tiny elephant.Like with the less successful string-together flicks of the early 80's, the storyline that is put together for Quackbusters is less than great, even a little too clunky. As a kid I didn't really put much bother to it, but again on repeat viewings it becomes about as obvious as Sylvester's jitters get. One such example is the very flat and ill-conceived bit where Daffy goes to the possessed woman's place. On the other hand, out of the all of the other animated films put together with the shorts- save for the Bugs Bunny and Road Runner Movie- this has the best shorts. My favorites include when Tweety gets the Heckle & Hyde treatment (very, very funny), or when Sylvester gets terrified by mice under a sheet. But the most indelible lines, in just sheer ludicrous and hysterical, fall-on-the-floor funny parts, are when Bugs tricks around the Blood Count ("Walla-walla-Washington", still gets me every time), and when Bugs and Daffy visit the Imbominable snowman. The film is also topped with a pre-short by a fairly humorous song sung by Mel Torme.So, if you're one of those fans of Looney Tunes that hasn't seen the compilation films before, this is probably the best place to start, as the sum of the shorts are far greater and worth your time than what might be found in the other string-together films. That it still remains memorable more for the older shorts than the newer material is a credit of the late, great Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, and Robert McKimson (the three ORIGINAL directors of the films, not of the in-between segments).

Bugs Bunny had three films where he was the lead, and here is one of the two films where Daffy Duck led. Daffy is trying to make money on the streets without success, when he hears that a millionaire will give $1,000,000 for a good laugh. He takes this task, and kills J.B. Cubish laughing. J.B. Cubish leaves his fortune to Daffy, but his ghost tells him he should use it for good. So Daffy sets up a paranormal investigation team with Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig with Sylvester the Cat. They encounter a Jekyl/Hyde turned Tweety Pie, a haunted house, red monsters, vampires, a possessed female duck, the abominable snowman and a miniature elephant. Eventually Daffy discovers that he has gone bust, and his office is destroyed, and he goes back on the street, with J.B. still ruining his life. Daffy Duck was number 30, Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies number 20, and Bugs Bunny number 10 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Good!
