Since its daffy’s big birthday, I recommend people play Duck Amuck; it’s a pretty good game that utilizes the DS Features and can work well on Delta.

(Archive) Animated short film of the day: Duck Amuck (1953)

There's something decidedly self indulgent but nevertheless interesting about using entertainment to discuss entertainment itself: Deconstructions, parodies, and in this case, getting meta; one of the most cerebral and fascinating… if done right. When used poorly it becomes a hand wave or a cynical tool to divert attention away of a work's flaws or be patronising to the audience. When used properly though? It can give us an insight on why we love a medium so much. Which is why this short is a landmark for commercial western animation.

While not the first to make use of the concept of an animator directly interacting with the cartoon character, as Disney's Saludos Amigos (1942) already had some of this, it pushed everything about this gag to the limit. The story(loosely using the term) is pretty much just Daffy getting messed with by whoever is animating(take a guess who that turns out to be) to such an extreme at various different points nothing that is identifiable about Daffy stays: The voice? The character design? Both get played with to nigh unrecognizable points to see how much you can take away while still keeping the audience engaged. And engaged it should be, as not only is the work hilarious but also a small but delicious insight of how animation is made.

Well…was.

It's a short made in the 50's, so some of the gags that may have been a little more obvious then would require some clarification for modern viewers. The core of it, though, remains as appealing as it ever was. Looney Toons shorts can be hit and miss in some areas(some having aged horrendously for a plethora of reasons) but when they hit the mark, they're absolute guaranteed classics and this is one of the best for being so bold on it's approach.

Duck Amuck is absolutely perfect, and the best cartoon ever made (fight me),but this moment in particular makes me laugh every single time, and I won't explain why.

Because I can't

If you haven't heard the news, Camp Camp is BACK for a new episode! (Yes, just the one. No season 5 or anything crazy like that.) And but a week before release, we got word that some of the voice actors will be replaced with ones closer to the characters' races. Some have taken this well, others have not… and that even extends to one of said characters.
