Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
utgard14 One of the all-time greats. Chuck Jones' brilliant parody of Buck Rogers with Daffy Duck as the title character who, along with his sidekick "Eager Young Space Cadet" Porky, tries to stake a claim on Planet X in the name of Earth and finds Marvin the Martian attempting to do the same for Mars. Being a fan of Daffy, a fan of Chuck Jones, and a fan of old school sci-fi, this one is a real treat for me. It's been one of my favorite Looney Tunes cartoons since childhood. Even now, after I've seen literally hundreds of Looney Tunes shorts since I first saw this one, it still ranks in my top ten. The animation is excellent with creative little bits of business all around. Pay attention to the details in this one. Beautiful colors and backgrounds. Exciting music from Carl Stalling. Flawless voice work from the legendary Mel Blanc. It's one of the best shorts Chuck Jones ever made and probably his second best Daffy short behind Duck Amuck. The writing is fresh and clever, the gags are funny, and the animation is top notch. I don't have a single bad thing to say about this classic.
phantom_tollbooth Chuck Jones's 'Duck Dodgers in the 24th ½ Century' has always been the most popular of his Daffy and Porky genre spoofs and it isn't hard to see why. Aside from a cracking script by Michael Maltese, 'Duck Dodger…' is one of the most handsome Warner Bros. cartoons ever made. While almost every second of an average Warner cartoon is dedicated to either gags or story development, 'Duck Dodgers…' features moments of visual brilliance that relate to neither. Most memorable is the giant eyeball that watches Daffy as he walks beneath it, an image which has no real comic value but is just beautiful to look at. Once the intrepid duo reach Planet X, however, the cartoon is all about brilliant jokes, my favourite of which is the Acme disintegrating pistol ("Well, whadda you know, it disintegrated"). The extremely on-form Porky's final deadpan address to camera is also classic. In one of his few appearance which nevertheless afforded him star status, Marvin the Martian proves an amusing adversary for Daffy. He doesn't get as much chance to shine as in the cartoons that pitted him against Bugs since Porky and Daffy steal all the best moments but he is still a memorable villain whose well documented ineptitude still proves more than a match for Daffy's inadequate heroics. 'Duck Dodgers in the 24th ½ Century' is an undoubted classic which can count among its fans George Lucas, who selected it to be shown before the cinema screenings of his re-released 'Star Wars'.
mirosuionitsaki2 This isn't a cartoon you will find in a fairy tale book. This is Duck Dodgers, also known as Daffy Duck, when he is not a hero. Cut the crap, Duck Dodgers, everyone knows your secret identity! Duck Dodgers and Porky the Pig are on the search of a shaving cream atom known as Illudium Phosdex. Unfortunately, while searching on Planet X, an alien wants to get it first! Will Duck Dodgers get the Illudium Phosdex before the alien? The answer is, well. The whole planet destroys leaving only a little floating ball in space while everyone stands on it holding each other on the shoulders, trying not to fall off. Wonder why's that when before the planet seemed to have gravity because they could simply walk on the Planet and run away.I think this is a parody of the Planet X Jason Martell discussed about. Planet X is a planet claimed by some people to be a planet in our solar system we haven't found yet. X, I think, being a variable. It symbolizes a missing planet name, I think.I recommend this cartoon for Human children.
movieman_kev This is quite possibly the best Daffy/porky pig cartoon ever. This short introduced Duck Dodgers into the Americon lexicon and I can't say anything else about this short that hasn't been said before by a great many many people. Needless to say this cartoon is greatness. And if you haven't seen it before, you in all likelihood just don't like Loony Tunes in the least and there's no help for you anyway. To everyone else this is and always will be a classic, and rightfully so. Like the first disk of the Loony Tunes golden Collection, the second disk also leaves the best for last. This hilarious Hugo nominated cartoon is on Disk 2 of the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1" My Grade: A+
