This was the final cartoon to use any of the classic Warner Bros. characters; after this, new characters and one-shot cartoons were their entire output.
First off, the animation and music are very poor. There are two scenes with Daffy looking out a window, and the exact same animation is used even though he was in a different room each time (first the lab, then Daffy's bedroom). There's also the score, which is generic at best. The cartoon itself looks like something out of Hanna-Barbera (complete with an overuse of their sound effects).
That's nothing to say about the writing. Daffy gets angry at Speedy for his "corny music"? Is that the best the writers could come up with? On another note, they at least tried to make Daffy less of a jerk in previous cartoons after getting horribly flanderized through much of the 60s (the Daffy/Speedy cartoon before it actually had them as friends).
Then the two get sent back in time, where they are fed to a lion. This culminates into a series of rather bland gags with awful timing (just one example is the scene with the lion eating Speedy's wooden sword).
Then they break Nero's fiddle, get chased by him and then get sent back to the present. Also, Nero got brought along with them. Why didn't the scientist just send him back to Ancient Rome? And why did he have to join Speedy's band?
