Disturbing yet enthralling

Best movie ever!

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Just about every cartoon studio during animation's golden age did remakes of their cartoon shorts every once in a while. More often than not, they were color remakes of black and white cartoons, such is the case with this short.This short is a remake of the black and white Looney Tune SCALP TROUBLE (1939), which was directed by Bob Clampett. Friz Freleng directed the remake. Not to bash Freleng as a director (he was a good one), but he didn't have a feel for Clampett's zany sensibility. This was also evident when he remade another one of Clampett's earlier shorts PORKY IN WACKYLAND (1938). This is one of the reasons why this short suffers.The other reason this short suffers as a remake is that it reuses animation from various other shorts. It's basically a hodge podge of late 1930's animation sequences, redone as a mid-40's short with no originality. Of course, this is someone speaking in a time where it's much easier to spot these shortcuts, than it was in years prior. This is one of many cartoon remakes that was produced as a cost cutting measure. Had Clampett remade his own short, I can imagine it being a better short. I recommend the original over the remake.

. . . as well as the rampant cheating to which this sorry franchise has resorted during this bogus so-called 21-game "winning" streak. For starters, remember that this bunch from "The Mistake on the Lake" has not even won a World Series since SLIGHTLY DAFFY was released 75 years ago! This Cleavered Bunch is so woeful that even when only the most cursed squad in the Universe--the Chicago Cubs--stood between them and a championship, and the Lake Erie crew held an "insurmountable" 3-1 lead in last year's World Series--they STILL managed to snatch Defeat from the Anal Portal of Victory! Secondly, seven of these "Great" Triumphs--that is, exactly one-third--came against the Detroit Tigers AFTER the Motor City Nine sold off ALL their stars, becoming essentially the Motown Mudhens! (And the "Tribe" felt so threatened by these teenage pussycats that they even turned on the outfield sprinklers in the middle of the game!) Finally, TV replays clearly showed that the three-run "homer" in the Lake Mudville group's 21st "win" was not even "out"--instead of "winning" 5-3, they actually LOST 3-2!! SLIGHTLY DAFFY ends with the notation that "Yanks Beat Indians 11-3" (at the 5 minute, 54 second mark). Consolidating THAT prediction with the rest of the clues embedded in SLIGHTLY DAFFY, it's clear that Warner Bros. is warning these lame "Indians" that the Kansas City Royals will best them 17-7 Thursday night, Sept. 14, 2017. Remember, you saw it here first!

...but I can't give this cartoon a positive review. It's just plain racist. The fact that they pulled some scenes out of previous material takes a back issue to the clear point that they portray Indians mercilessly. I know, the portrayal here is no different from other portrayals of the era, but in the 21st century, we should know better.So, only watch "Slightly Daffy" if you can understand that they offer a very negative portrayal of Native Americans. I will admit that what Daffy and Porky do at the beginning is fairly entertaining, but that doesn't make up for the rest of the cartoon. It's rather nasty, if I may say so.

This cartoon could be considered a "cheater" because it uses quite a bit of footage from Scalp Trouble, presumably because of material shortages during wartime and because the animators were also doing war-related projects and it saved time. Though Scalp Trouble is better, Slightly Daffy is good enough to see for its own sake. Worth watching. Recommended.
