Moby Duck (HBOMax Restoration, No METV watermark)

[@harrygardner7257]

It’s like if bugs bunny was chasing the roadrunner.

[@itsjoshua2508]

That happened in Hare Breadth Hurry

[@harrygardner7257]

@@itsjoshua2508 close but I meant was bugs bunny chasing the roadrunner out of anger and frustration like he was with the tortoise in the 1940’s

[@josephadorno92]

Ironically, Daffy Duck and The Road Runner shared a comic book called "Daffy Duck and The Road Runner", where Daffy would help stop the coyote from catching the Road Runner (kinda like Sam Sheepdog).

Bob McKimson's first DFE cartoon and Treg Brown's last cartoon period. 😮‍💨

[@danielgudinojuarez6729]

I've seen this short once, and thought it was just meh. I mean Mel is giving it his all, but the quality ain't there anymore. Seven arts was basically the discovery merger of the late 60s

[@AndrewsMagicandMore]

However this short was produced when Depatie-Freleng were outsourcing the series; Warners didn't produce any of the shorts in-house until after the Seven Arts merger while D-F was out of the picture.

[@pinkcartoonist]

This is not the seven arts era (1967 - 1969), it's the DePatie-Freleng era (1964 - 1967)

[@josephadorno92]

It's kinda like those Disney cartoons where Donald Duck is chasing Chip 'n Dale.

Oh, and by the way, Trevor, greatest job on curating and presenting this video. Thank you.

“Just one little crumb?” “NO!!”

[@MattHunterSays]

This cartoon was likely started by Friz Freleng, based on an earlier, better cartoon starring Sylvester and an unnamed mouse (“Canned Feud”, 1951). As with nearly all of the DePatie/Freleng cartoon series, Friz directed the first few and then handed the reins to someone else (Hawley Pratt directed a bunch of Pink Panther shorts, Gerry Chiniquy seemed to be the go-to for “Ant and the Aardvark”). McKimson would be the exclusive director of the Daffy/Speedy series until Warners dropped DePatie-Freleng in favor of their own in-house Seven Arts studio. For all the hate this series gets, there are some funny entries, and this is one of them. There’s a motivation for Daffy to be mean to Speedy: He has a box of canned food, but no can opener, and he absolutely refuses to share…because he’s Daffy Duck, and he’s greedy.

[@josephadorno92]

It also allowed McKimson to continue his preference of eschewing traditional cat-chasing-a-mouse cartoons by pairing Daffy with Speedy.

[@TVsMrNeil]

I'm surprised no part of this was used for Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island.

[@harrygardner7257]

Ducks chase mice.

Ima start tweaking if this is the LTC yearly upload of this year 😭

[@pinkcartoonist]

Was this restoration made before they thought "Hmm, you know what I think we should not put the shorts with Speedy in HBO max"?

[@TheLooneyTunesCritic]

They did all the restorations at once. It would be way more expensive to only restore the ones you wanted to have on the platform, esp. since at the time, the plan was to have all the cartoons on Max. But setting everything up that you need to do restorations only to have to do it each and every time with a single title or batch of titles is way more cost prohibitive. Also you're assuming that even though HBO did pay for the restorations that the platform was their only reason to restore them. While super specific blu rays from Warner Archives wasn't necessarily on the horizon, they knew that the physical releases were far from dead.

[@garyinthefrozen]

I personally like it when the looney tunes crossover with each other

[@Redkodiak1994]

They've really made daffy selfish in the 60s looney tunes

[@PNGStudiosIncOfficial]

He was already, wasn't he

[@darbow898]

@@PNGStudiosIncOfficial To a degree he was earlier, but they amped it up in this era, also 2:55 sure Daffy, SPEEDY is the selfish one in this scenario.

[@harrygardner7257]

Or Sylvester hunting for a rabbit

[@nicholasmalone5943]

As seen on Looney Tune-In Live!

[@Randomlad.0737]

Just a worse version of Canned Fued (1951), shitifyed by De PatieFreleng.

[@jonathanadair6847]

I still think the post-64 stuff is overhated and no one is going to change my opinion.

[@harrygardner7257]

Or Elmer Fudd hunting for tweety in granny’s house

[@charizardoreo]

that would be pretty funny actually

[@TheLooneyTunesCritic]

@@charizardoreo And Granny seduces Elmer to get him away from Tweety, but it evolves and she wants him to move in and make things more serious, but he's just like, "I'm sowwy Gwanny, but I onwy fuck for the sport of it.... huhhuhuhuhuhuhuh!" Yeah, I'd totally watch that.

[@lanceplaxton6967]

Same here. I'd pay any amount of money to see that.

[@WWChampion16]

This is different. A cartoon with no commentary. Though you also posted a non-Looney Tunes short Steamboat Willy.

[@TheLooneyTunesCritic]

And then there's all the Stuttering John and Dabbleverse stuff. Gosh, it's almost as though I have more than one interest.

[@WWChampion16]

@@TheLooneyTunesCritic Speaking of which I hope you will make more commentaries for Looney Tunes. I enjoy watching them.

[@paul329869]

Say, was Moby Duck really that bad like the other Daffy-Speedys I’ve been hearing about?
