Nasty Quacks (1945)
7/10
Daffy when he WAS Daffy (rather than just being annoying)
3 November 2010
Best part of this cartoon is some of the "manic" animation. There's a scene of Daffy sword fighting with the father that's great. Another one where he's banging at a door which is great.

The gag with the duck call, and duck perfume is great. Hadn't seen this exact gag before. There's another gag at the end with the duckling that's unexpected.

This might be a wartime cartoon, because Daffy threatens to leave, then comes back and says he can't because the government has asked that people don't do unnecessary travel.

The hatred of the father towards Daffy is also awesome. He REALLY wants to get rid of him.

As someone above said, Daffy is very angular. But the overall quality of the animation seems excellent.

p.s. What's with the girl's underpants always showing? Seems I recall seeing that sort of thing in older cartoons. Today they would probably get some parent's council on their butts for doing that.
