Very Cool!!!
one of my absolute favorites!
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

. . . while top Sex Education honchos slather PLANE DAFFY with praise for its uninhibited flogging of their ideal for Oral Sex to be reciprocated to the female in a heterosexual coupling. Obviously, Warner Bros. had a dual purpose in promulgating PLANE DAFFY. Shaming the World-Wrecking Top Nazi leaders into shooting themselves in the head (and, sure enough, the Power of Warner's suggestion soon led "Der Fuhrer" himself, Adolf Hitler, into aping the cartoon versions of his henchmen Goering and Goebels here at PLANE DAFFY's close by shooting himself in the mouth in Real Life a few minutes after he viewed this animated short in his Bunker) was one of their priorities. More importantly, the Warner Bros. foresaw the havoc a Baby Boom would cause in America as all those millions of servicemen returned to their female counterparts, who lacked The Pill and most of the other Civilized Means of Contraception. The only hope in keeping the U.S. Social Fabric from being ripped apart, with Boomers such as Hillary the the Trumpster STILL fighting like over-crowded kindergartners this far into the 21st Century, was the promotion of Population Stability through fully reciprocal Oral Sex. A close viewing of PLANE DAFFY tunes up 14 overt or subliminal allusions to female-on-male activity of this nature, as well as 27 male-to-female connections. Without Warner's timely PLANE DAFFY warning, most of the Real Life tongue wagging never would have happened, and Millennials would be coping with TWICE AS MANY BOOMERS underfoot as we're actually putting up with Today!
View MoreMost of Frank Tashlin's cartoons are hugely entertaining and clever, they deserve to be better known as does Tashlin as a director. And Daffy Duck is one of Looney Tunes/Warner Brothers' best characters. Plane Daffy is a classic for both. The animation is fluid and colourful, with expertly camera angles(always one of Tashlin's directorial strengths), and the music is both lively and catchy. The writing is fresh and fabulously witty, there is some brashness but also degrees of subtlety, and to call the gags hilarious is an understatement, very hard to pick a standout as they're all great in their own way. Plane Daffy is easily one of Tashlin's funniest, and with the sexual tension and the caricatures at the end one of his daring too, managing to do that without offending. The story is not exceptional from a premise point of view, but the breakneck pace, the fantastic humour and managing to not be afraid of being ahead of its time makes that not matter at all. Daffy is on top form, the femme fatale character is both beautiful and dangerous and the voice work from Mel Blanc et al is spot on. Overall, a classic. 10/10 Bethany Cox
View MoreDirected by Frank Tashlin, "Plane Daffy" is a World War II Daffy Duck cartoon that is quite bizarre. Amidst some amusing rhymed narration by Robert C. Bruce, we feast our eyes upon a very sad squadron of Air Force chickens at their flight station, weeping for their lost comrade. It's up to Daffy, the "squadron woman hater", to deliver a secret military document and resist the flirtations of a slinky Nazi spy hen named Hatta Mari.Here are my favorite sequences from "Plane Daffy". Daffy ogles Hatta Mari's leg and then gets electrocuted by her kiss. When he escapes her hideout, he quickly returns, telling her, " Let's go back inside. It's scaaaary out there!" And I love the caricatures of Hitler, Goering, and Goebbels at the very end."Plane Daffy" is a cartoon that lives up to its title, because once Daffy winds up in Hatta Mari's hideout, the rest of the film is absolutely silly!
View MoreA WWII classic. All of the Carrier Pigeons have met their dooms after meeting Hatta Mari, a sexy enemy spy. Enter Daffy Duck, woman hater, who goes out to deliver a secret document. After a zany chase around Hatta's house, Daffy is cornered and swallows the paper. He is then straped to an X-Ray and Marri shows the message to Hitler and his henchmen: "Hitler is a Stinker". Hitler: "Hitler is a Shtinker?! That's no military secret!" Henchmen: "Yah everybody knows dat!" After the two shoot themselves, Daffy replies: "They lose more darn Nutzis that way!"
