Product Description ------------------- Looney Tunes Super Stars Daffy Duck Frustrated Fowl My own superstar collection of cartoons starring me, Daffy Duck? What a great ideal Good thing I thought of it! Welcome to the duck side, 'toon fans, with this array of shorts that take to funny like a duck takes to water- out of the vaults and on DVD for tha first tima avar. So, no, you probably haven't seen these. And, yes, you certainly should. There's fun here to blow your beak off in 15 tales of the drake's progress featuring Daffy Duck as a hard-to-handle house pet {Nasty Quacks}, a faulty fur trapper {Tha Ieaman Duckath}, an inferior interior designer {Design For Lsaving}, a perturbed papa-to-be {Stark Naked} and more. Each is a feather in his cap, so to speak. Enjoy. ]]> .com ---- Daffy Duck: Frustrated Fowl was released in conjunction with Bugs Bunny: Hare Extraordinaire, so it's not surprising the two collections share the same strengths and weaknesses. None of these shorts have been released on disc before, and Chuck Jones's "Daffy Dilly" (1948) is a welcome addition to any cartoon library. Daffy sets out to win the money a gloomy millionaire is offering to anyone who can make him laugh--and succeeds in spite of himself. But many of these cartoons are, simply, duds. "This Is a Life?" (1955), "People Are Bunny" (1959), and "Person to Bunny" (1960) spoof largely forgotten TV shows. How many viewers under 65 will recognize caricatures of Art Linkletter and Edward R. Murrow? The films pitting Daffy against Bugs play like weak remakes of Jones's "Rabbit Fire" trilogy or Friz Freleng's "Show Biz Bugs"--"Person to Bunny" even repeats some of Daffy's tap dance to "Jeepers Creepers" in "Show Biz." The very late "Suppressed Duck" (1965) is painfully unfunny. Once again, some of the films have been inexplicably cropped to simulate a widescreen format. As with Hare Extraordinaire, fans of Warner Bros. cartoons will find Frustrated Fowl a disappointing follow-up to the six Looney Tunes Golden Collections.
