Daffy first appeared in 'Porky's Duck Hunt', released on April 17, 1937. The cartoon was directed by Tex Avery and animated by Bob Clampett. 'Porky's Duck Hunt' is a standard hunter/prey pairing for which Leon Schlesinger's studio was famous, but Daffy (barely more than an unnamed bit player in this short) was something new to moviegoers: an assertive, completely unrestrained, combative protagonist.

Clampett later recalled:
"At that time, audiences weren't accustomed to seeing a cartoon character do these things. And so, when it hit the theaters it was an explosion. People would leave the theaters talking about this daffy duck."

Also Daffy Duck is now canonically trans and/or intersex. He lays eggs while still identifying as male and explicitly comments on how hard it is to lay eggs as a male duck.

He is known for his lisp and is often portrayed as greedy, stubborn, and mischievous. And a fun fact about him, his real name is Daffy Dumas Sheldon Armando Duck!

We got new character poster and still image reveals earlier this week (attached here below), and Ketchup Entertainment released the official teaser trailer for The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (in theaters in February), and it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbgUq57NPgA

Porky Pig and Daffy Duck, first introduced in 1935 and 1937 (in shorts 'I Haven’t Got a Hat' and 'Duck Hunt' respectively), return to the big screen next year. Directed, co-written and exec produced by Pete Browngardt, 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie' hits theaters in February. Browngardt talks about it here: https://www.animationmagazine.net/2024/12/daffy-and-porky-to-the-rescue-director-peter-browngardt-looks-back-at-the-making-of-the-day-the-earth-blew-up-a-looney-tunes-movie

After being ditched by HBO Max, Ketchup Entertainment has just bought the USA theatrical distribution rights for the new Looney Tunes flick that I mentioned here before - The Day the Earth Blew Up. This is huge news. It'll be the first full length, fully animated Looney Tunes film to ever hit theaters. It looks amazing, and I'm psyched.

No release date yet, but this is the BEST kind of news.

Alright, I'm back from the "The Day the Earth Blew Up" Daffy Duck and Porky Pig movie!

It was a really fun movie with some of the classic cartoon slapstick craziness but also a nice story and heartwarming character interactions.
Of course, it's a family cartoon, so, don't compare it to usual Hollywood material, but it was fun, colorful and also had some very emotional moments.

I think I'll go see that Looney Tunes Daffy Duck and Porky Pig movie this weekend.

I appreciate some silly cartoon fun and it's nice to see a 2D cartoon come to cinemas.

The great Mel Blanc passed on 35 years ago today (July 10) in 1989, at 81 years of age. I was only 9 in 1989 and don't remember his passing, but at 9, I was probably already watching Looney Tunes on TV in the mornings.

Darrell Van Citters made this 'Speechless' tribute piece for Mel, and here is Mel's grave.

Forever the king.

The German trailer for Looney Tunes movie The Day the Earth Blew Up (Ein Klebriges Abenteur: Daffy Duck und Schweinchen Dick Retten Den Planeten) is out. Hearing Daffy and Porky speak German is pretty wild.

Hope the USA version gets announced eventually..

Like all Looney Tunes fans, I'm excited about The Day the Earth Blew Up. I believe it's been picked up for a German release and another country or two- hopefully it will hit USA theaters here soon. I talked about it some semi-recently over at https://animatedtvblog.wordpress.com.

It just hit Annecy, got RAVE reviews, and now there's more of it to preview - here's one of the scenes.

Daffy Duck as The Flash, it was a convention sketch commission.

I don't know how many of you are into cartoons and such - I'm super into certain ones and have been for most of my life, ever since I used to get up early in the morning to catch them on TV as a kid.

Strangely, one of my only consistent habits for the last 14 years has been writing about them on a blog. Just wrote about the upcoming Daffy/Porky movie that I'm pretty psyched for.

Watching 2003’s Duck Dodgers. It’s so good! Voice acting, story, and animation. #tv #animation #cartoons #daffyduck #looneytunes

Bummed they shelved the FINISHED Coyote vs Acme film, but the real one I'm looking forward to is The Day the Earth Blew Up. They better not take THAT one from us, the bastards. It's supposed to come out next year (fingers super crossed)
