Robin Hood Daffy and Hollywood Daffy Review


Yes people you have read that right i've decided to review two Looney Tunes cartoons and only one of them I would truly say is a classic cartoon so lets get on with it shall we you Looney people you.

Robin Hood Daffy came out on March 8th 1958 and it's plot is Daffy as Robin Hood is trying to impress Friar Tuck who is played by Porky Pig and i have to say that I found the plot of this cartoon to be really funny there's just something about seeing Daffy dressed as Robin Hood that cracks me up and I don't know why that is.

Hollywood Daffy came out on January 22nd 1948 and it sees Daffy trying to get a job at Warmer Brothers and no I didn't spell it wrong in the cartoon the studio Daffy is trying to work for is Warmer Brothers but tho for me this story relied more on gags that younger people like myself just won't get instead of focusing on the story.


Starring in both cartoons is the great Mel Blanc I don't really need to say this since it's kinda a given but he's really funny in both cartoons the guy truly was a legend and he wasn't just a great voice actor but he was a great actor period there's not really much more I can say about the acting because the only actor in these cartoons is a true legend.

Now for some reason Friz Freleng who directed Hollywood Daffy isn't credited in the cartoon which is a shame because he is a great director and I cannot think of a single reason as to why he wouldn't want his name on this cartoon it's not even a bad cartoon.


The animation in Robin Hood Daffy is truly great it has a lot of great looking backgrounds and just look at the above picture of Daffy that is just pure freaking awesome but tho the animation in Hollywood Daffy for me was a little lacking which is a shame because it had a great set of animators working on the short and it had a great director but even with all of that talent the animation was just for me at least average.

In all honesty I don't expect people to know about Hollywood Daffy since it's not the best Looney Tunes or Daffy Duck cartoon out there but it still does deserve some attention from Looney Tunes fans since it has Mel Blanc doing his classic "Looney" Daffy voice which i'm sure does crack some people up.


If you want to know which cartoon I think has the best jokes for me personally it's Robin Hood Daffy just because of the image of Daffy Duck dressed as Robin Hood plus it's gags have a more timeless feel about them. The jokes in Hollywood Daffy however I feel aren't that timeless not many people will know who Daffy is meant to be imitating in the above picture but if you show them the classic "fight"from Robin Hood Daffy then there going to laugh.


Overall Robin Hood Daffy is one of the best Daffy Duck cartoons in my opinion next to Duck Amuck but Hollywood Daffy is still a pretty funny cartoon so Robin Hood Daffy gets a 9.0 out of 10 while Hollywood Daffy gets a 8 out of 10.
