A delightful cartoon directed by Tex Avery, "Daffy Duck in Hollywood" stars - who else? - our favorite duck, the absolutely screwy, wacky, obnoxious Daffy, who invades a motion picture studio, thus creating havoc on the set and harassing the director (a pompously trilling, mustachioed pig), yet impressing the producer (a pompously ill-humored, sharp-suited dog) when he secretly replaces the director's final product with his own cut-and-paste job.
Two highlights from this cartoon: Daffy swipes the director's cigarette and bounces all over the set writing the words "Warner Bros." in smoke ("Just giving my bosses a plug! I've got an option coming up!"). As the director commences shooting a crucially romantic scene featuring a hen (representing actress/singer Jeanette MacDonald) and a rooster (representing actor/singer Nelson Eddy), Daffy suddenly interrupts the scene by rapidly & repeatedly smooching the hen and, once again, bouncing all over the set.
The Daffy that we see in "Daffy Duck in Hollywood" is one of the earliest versions of this famous duck: insane, energetic, goofy, nonsensical, silly, and above all, bouncing all over the screen with his high-pitched "Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo!"
