What's Opera Doc, get outta here!
Drip-Along Daffy (1951) is Chuck Jones's magnum-opus.
Chuck Jones had made some very solid cartoons and some cartoons were managed to make it on my favorites list.
Bugs' Bonnets (1956)
Awful Orphan (1949)
Duck Amuck (1953)
Little Brother Rat (1939)
My Bunny Lies Over The Sea (1948)
Scaredy Cat (1948)
8 Ball Bunny (1950)
Drip-Along Daffy has to be my favorite out of all of his shorts he made over the course of 25 years in the classic Looney Tunes Era. There's alot of reason to explain how I highly enjoyed it.
It starts off with Porky Pig singing and it's already off to an amazing start.
There's a really funny gag that credits the two main roles Daffy and Porky play.
Next is a look at the different places in The Lawless Western Town. Very cool.
Now this is where it really begins. Our Western-Type Hero kicks the swinging doors at the saloon.
This is one of Daffy's best moments yet where he starts to grab his guns but at that, he pulls it way too hard that his pants get loose and the pants stick together with the guns. It's silly and impeccable.
Also there's this moment where Daffy is still talking to everyone but all of them are not paying attention. The expressions that Daffy makes in this scene are funny.
So as this one.
Nasty Canasta needs more recognition because he's one of the best bad guys Chuck Jones ever made. Far more better than Gossamer and Marvin The Martian in my opinion.
More amazing expressions here.
As well as Nasty Canasta's gurgle effect when he drinks and his hat when it flips.
Daffy literally goes zany-mode and walks mechanically and after that another influential animation scene sees Daffy's bullets on his belt shoot down the floor and falls.
Daffy pretty much insists a fight with Nasty Canasta outside but when that happens Comedy Relief Porky builds a toy solider. Canasta laughs at it, but then in a hilarious attempt, the solider actually uses the momentum to shoot him in the face and hilariously falls. Such a great moment.
Back then I didn't get the joke how Porky won instead of Daffy. But I actually get it now because it you take this out of context, Daffy felt like he was a background character, just walking like he's peaceful going with the flow and not involved with the fight, after all Porky made the toy and defeated Canasta. That's so clever and a funny way to end it.
In conclusion, Porky is now the town's sheriff. He looks so fresh, and this picture sends off a vibe. And as for Daffy-
He's a sanitation worker. That means he's cleaning the town all up. Man, Daffy and Porky are the best together.
And that's it. An absolute masterpiece, this cartoon I did think was just ok when I first watched it but it grown on me and I loved it all the more, for it's expressions, line delivery, and really appreciated characters. Nasty Canasta is one of those characters I want to see more in future Looney Tunes projects. He's too perfect.
Giving this a 100/10. Amazing work. 👍
If I had a Top 100 Looney Tunes Shorts or Favorite Cartoons List, it would be at #4 with Looney Tunes, and #9 or #10 in my favorites.
I will give you updates on what tomorrow will bring.
Anyways have a good day. Bye-a! 👋
