Teddy B A vehicle of absolute meticulous perfectionism that delves deep into the aspects of the animated form in simultaneously intentional and non-intentional ways. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Audience Member The fourth wall has been obliterated! This trope has been used and reused so much that it's easy to forget where it all started and how incredibly creative Duck Amuck really is. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member in one of Warner's most notable animations, Daffy Duck is tormented by an initially unseen animator who leads him to an existential crisis of sorts by repeatedly changing his appearance and allows the creator Chuck Jones to cleverly demonstrate that animated characters can have their own recognisable personalities independent of their personal appearance. Sure the self referential, fourth wall breaking humour has immense comedic value but the lesson in the possibilities of the cartoon short format is where it's real importance lies. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably the best parody of itself any cartoon producing house has ever done. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Breaking the fourth wall, Daffy Duck is assailed by the pranks of an omniscient and mean-spirited animator in this beloved short. The standard set by director Chuck Jones and writer Michael Maltese is quite high, but they greatly outdid themselves here. Duck Amuck is as creative and innovative as it is funny. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This innovative short openly and boastfully showed how much creativity could be set free within the animation medium.
