Duck Amuck (1953)
6/10
Daffy's great moment

Warning: Spoilers
This is a 7-minute animated short film from over 60 years ago and it may very well be the most known one including everybody's favorite (non-Disney) duck. The fact that a short cartoon becomes induced into the National Film registry already says it all pretty much. It's a very inventive movie and there is something happening constantly. The setting is changed, Daffy's costume is changed or he transforms into an entirely different character. Also the filmmakers played a bit with colors and, more notably, with sound here. Daffy has the voice of a cock at one point. The filmmaker team are the usual Warner Bros. guys again: Jones, Maltese and Blanc who worked on hundreds (or in Blanc's case) of movies. I enjoyed watching this one, but still I feel it is slightly overrated. People should not mistake the inclusion of the pen (led by Bugs Bunny) for one of the greatest cartoons ever made just because the other ones do not include the drawing artist behind the cartoon. With that being said, I still recommend these 7 minutes.
