terrible... so disappointed.

Good concept, poorly executed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

" . . . but I am small!" Daffy Duck (as Dorlock Homes) challenges Scotland Yard's Public Enemy Number One, the hulking Shropshire Slasher. More than ably assisted by his pipe-smoking sidekick Dr. Watkins (played in DEDUCE, YOU SAY by Porky Pig), Dorlock shares a wealth of Bon Mots here. "I'm brown as a nut, and fit as a lath" (perhaps meaning to say "fit as a lathe") Daffy reveals midway through this Looney Tune. "You Ruddy Coastermongers," Dorlock addresses the denizens of Henry the Eighth's Fifths Pub (featuring "Selzer Water," most likely in honor of this animated short's producer, Edward S.). As Dr. Watkins observes, he and Dorlock are "in for a rum go" before this episode concludes. And well they should be, masquerading as indigenous English types after venturing thousands of miles away from America's friendly confines. If this pair were trying to apprehend a Wreaker of Havoc on U.S. soil who'd subsequently fled to Britain (such as Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands, Captain Jack Sparrow, or the Mad Hatter), their dogged pursuit of a suspect might be hailed as patriotic if foolhardy. However, Daffy's bravado seems totally misplaced here, no matter how elementary his schooling.

"Deduce, You Say" is a fine Daffy Duck/Porky Pig cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. Daffy and Porky work together in different ways, depending on who is directing the cartoon. But under the helm of Chuck Jones, Daffy is a brash, cocky, loudmouthed blowhard who believes he is the best at what he is given to do, usually resulting in him not being effective at all and getting the stuffing beat out of him. Porky, on the other hand, keeps his cool and simply observes Daffy making the biggest ass out of himself. In this case, Daffy is Dorlock Homes and Porky is his assistant Watkins, and together they must locate the Shropshire Slasher and place him behind bars. They find him inside a tavern, where we see a handful of well-drawn seedy-looking oddballs.Here are my favorite sequences from "Deduce, You Say". I love the very opening panning shot of the darkened streets of London, accompanied by some wonderfully gloomy music by Milt Franklyn. When Dorlock enters the tavern he falls bill first onto the floor. The telegram deliveryman appears to be dead when he falls over into Dorlock's threshold, but he merely gets up and, in a humorous Cockney voice, tells Dorlock to have that one step fixed.Upon recently watching "Deduce, You Say", I was reminded of the great comedian Shemp Howard (best known as one of the Three Stooges) when Dorlock (Daffy) tries to be wildly physical with the big, burly Shropshire Slasher. In a fair number of films, Shemp would often perform a hilarious fighter's dance when confronted with an adversary, but of course, Shemp himself would always be the recipient of the first punch!

A fairly silly take-off on the Sherlock Holmes stories. Daffy Duck playing a bombastic shrill Sherlock, and Porky Pig as a calm and reserved Watson. A few good laughs, but not enough to elevate it above most Looney Tune shorts. A few grown inducing play on words, but I like that type of humour, so this short was just alright by me. Not my favorite, but nor the worst Tune that I've seen. Don't misunderstand me as the worst Looney Tune is still a million times better then 'The Simpsons" has been in the last handful of years. This cartoon is on Disk 2 of the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1" My Grade: C+

This cartoon, while not as funny as Boobs in the Woods, most certainly has its moments. Pay attention to the drink orders in the pub and watch Porky in his scenes. Daffy is even more of a twit here than normal, but that's part of his charm. The cartoon is an affectionate takeoff on the Sherlock Holmes stories with an achingly bad last line. All in all, a very enjoyable effort. Well worth watching, although I'm not sure Sir Arthur or many Baker Street Irregulars would be as amused as I am.
