Duck Amuck

  • Title: Duck Amuck

Widely regarded as one of the best cartoon shorts of all-time, 1953’s “Duck Amuck” features an increasingly agitated Daffy Duck (Mel Blanc) constantly breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the unseen artist who forgets to draw the scenery (leaving the Duck against a blank background), or, when drawing something, varying it (or Daffy himself) in wildly inconsistent ways making it impossible for Daffy to tell a story.

Taking a few good-natured shots at the worst of the Star Wars films (Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones), Duck Dodgers (Jeff Bennett) comes up with an ingenuous way to stop a fleet of alien monsters about to attack the Earth by cloning an army of robotic versions of himself. For a Duck Dodgers plan, it’s an unqualified success. However, dealing with the rampaging robot ducks afterwards turns out to be an entirely new problem in need of a solution.
