Too many fans seem to be blown away

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

. . . when he knocks himself out reading a Dick Tracy comic book; if anything, Daffy's Final Destination is even Loonier than Dorothy Gale's. Dottie of the Ruby Red Slippers, you may recall, has an early adventure back in Kansas of falling into a Pig Sty. The Cowardly Lion nearly blows a gasket fishing her out of ham's way, knowing as a veteran farm hand that a pack of adult pigs can generally chow down a medium-sized human being three times as fast as a school of piranhas (even if she's not on her dot). THE GREAT PIGGYBANK ROBBERY ends with Daffy waking up in a Pig Sty, which might not be QUITE as bad as a time traveler arriving on the deck of the Titanic as it approaches a 90-degree angle with the frigid North Atlantic, but almost. It's a case of out of the frying pan and into the mire for the slobbering duck, as his snooze-fest opponents are far scarier than Dorothy's (Snake Eyes, Hammer Head, and the Neon Noodle, to name just three of many). The original Eraserhead--Rubberhead--is my favorite, as he nearly succeeds in rubbing out the irritating fowl permanently.

Detective noir was never as much fun as when Daffy took it on in this 1946 animated masterwork. Just what is it about this cartoon that makes it one of the exceptionally special and long-lasting beloved ones? It has such a great rare kind of quality and appeal about it that makes it such a brilliant little watch to this day, and I just love it. I find it to be a surrealistic ride into freaky cartoon nightmaresville! And while to me it doesn't seem like it was specifically made to be as disorienting and eerie as possible like in the best and most 'out there' of the Betty Boop shorts, it's surely uncanny and offbeat in its own very special way. I love how, for as brief as it is, it manages to quite wonderfully play into the pop culture and folklore of old comic books. I think that I must have seen it before at some point when I was very little, because for the longest time whenever I would think of vintage cartoons I always had a vivid image that would pop into my head of a figure in a shadowed room surrounded by weird colourful monster faces all angrily glaring down at him, and I never did know exactly where it was from... Then much later when I eventually just happened to watch this and it got to that part where things really do take off so magnificently as Daffy meets all of the marvelously spooky and fun bizarre criminals who all look like their namesakes and they all give chase, I was delighted as it clicked into place and the mystery of the unknown cartoon was finally solved! They're all so neat! I like the pumpkin one, the hammer-headed one, the Batman one is an especially hilarious visual play on words, but my favourite one is um.."Guess who!" I hate to negative-it-up, but I really hate that stupid campy pig, he somehow manages to single-handedly mar the ending, as well as for me at least take the whole short down a peg! If it weren't for him, I'd happily bestow a mighty ten! The short just demands it because it's still so amazing, and it will forever be. It is indeed fantastic and unbelievable!!!

Daffy Duck appears in a parody of Dick Tracy in this Warner Brothers short cartoon.An inventive take as Daffy goes in search of the stolen piggy banks as even keeping them in a safe place is not sufficient.They get to parody the classic Dick Tracy villains with Flat-head, Pumpkin-head, Double header, 88 Teeth, Batman and the most inventive of all being Rubber-head with his catchphrase of 'I'm going to rub you out' whilst making Daffy literally disappear.Daffy is excitable, funny, he even bumps into Sherlock Holmes. A parody cartoon at its best.

Overexcited from reading his latest copy of his Dick Tracey comic, Daffy Duck accidentally knocks himself out and dreams of being his hero. As Duck Twacy, Daffy uncovers a gang of criminals stealing people's piggy banks and begins to track the fearsome group down.Featuring Daffy in his `zany duck' period (as opposed to his envious bitter duck stage!) this cartoon nicely spoofs the characters and atmosphere of the Dick Tracey comic book. I am not fully aware of the comics but the recent film gives some idea of the larger than life characters and style. This cartoon lampoons that well and affectionately.Some of the jokes are obvious and the spoof side will go over the heads of those with no knowledge of the subject but daffy holds it all together with his larger than life personality and crazy approach to everything. Porky Pig makes a brief cameo in a moustache that made me think he would be a larger character but it's very much blink and you'll miss him. The end of the film is Ok considering it's an `it was all a dream' type ending, and it does have a good line from a pig!Overall I enjoyed this cartoon because I like both Daffy Duck and the fact that it pokes fun at the characters and style of Dick Tracey. May disappoint those not aware of DT as much of it relies on this but it's still worth a giggle or two.
