Weak character choices hurt this one

"Daffy Duck Hunt" (really generic title) is another Warner Bros cartoon that has the legendary McKimson, Foster and Blanc work on it and it runs for slightly over 7 minutes liked they usually do. This one's from 1949 and it means it will have its 70th anniversary next year already. Of course it is despite the age a color and sound cartoon. Interestingly enough, this one has Daffy play the character that gets away with it all, usually Bugs' spot and the mostly competent barnyard dog has not much too laugh in here as he gets tricked again and again by the feisty dog. Maybe Foghorn Leghorn should ask Daffy for a lesson in how to deal with the doggy. Anyway, the third on board here is Porky, but his days of being a lead character were long over by the end og the first half of the 20th century, so he is basically just a victim of circumstance that suffers from Daffy's shenanigans thinking the dog did it all. That's all there is to it basically. Not one of WB's best, not even close, not even from its particular year. I guess they realized this was not the right role for Daffy and they gave him roles afterward again more frequently that resembled the dog character in here where he is the one getting fooled. All in all, I give this cartoon a thumbs-up. Not everyone can be a winner. Also finally still an interesting note of what I had to think of when seeing Daffy. He is probably so black that people would not even come close to comparing him to Donald. Oh well, I am more of a Disney guy, so my bias may have to do with my rating here. That's all folks.
