Tick Tock Tuckered Daffy Shoots Moon

 

Been very icky for the past few weeks. Personally I don't feel comfortable talking about my regular ol' self, but I'm getting sick and tired of almost everything in general. But that doesn't stop me from watching stuff from the 1920s-50s.


Here's a very cuddly and soft escape from the past from Warner Bros., it's Tick Tock Tuckered (1944) starring Porky Pig & Daffy Duck, except it isn't brought that way and has this utterly cool and savage scene of Daffy getting fed up by the full moon, shoots it and something creatively unexpected happens. 




Of course this amazing scene was animated by the one and only Rod Scribner. One of my favorite animators. This was Daffy at his cutest, but also most threatening as Scribner is known for animating characters with that angry facial expression.





The animation here is rubbery but it works well with the overall gag they're going for in this particular scene.





Right after he shoots Moon, it suddenly drops like a big drip of rain. Daffy is immediately in shock.




We get ourselves some wacky drawings.  
























This drawing stays on screen the longest. I find these scenes to be wonderful since it feels so different than "limited" animation where the characters don't move impulsively.










Daffy then breaks the 4th wall by saying "Unbelievable, isn't it?" 


This is a remake of Porky's Badtime Story (1937). Still directed by Bob Clampett, there was different gags in that cartoon, and instead of Daffy Duck, it was Gabby Goat.


In the original, the certain scene with the moon disturbing Porky's sleep is by tying the window curtain to his bed, causing a wreck and an accident.  




Here's the full scene in action.
