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

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

. . . to realize that the always prophetic Looney Tuners were cramming in loads of their mainstay Warner Bros.' warnings into THE DAFFY DOC about U.S. Presidents--THEN (1938) and NOW (2016). Warner's Animated Shorts Seers realized that Americans NEVER would KNOWINGLY stand for Commanders-in-Chief whom "paid their water bills" sitting down! That's why DAFFY DOC is packed full of wacky Iron Lung scenes, in an effort to BLOW THEIR WHISTLE against President Frank "The Wheezing Wheeler's" declining health, resulting from a bout with Iron Lung Disease (aka, polio) which left him incapable of pacing his Oval Office (but which was totally COVERED UP by a Corrupt Media). Speaking of Number One Sitters, DAFFY DOC tells you all you need to know about the coming of Crooked Hillary/Obamacare in less than seven minutes. Daffy Duck shows "Patient" Porky Pig that that promise about "keeping your own doctor" is a TOTAL LIE! Daffy actually bludgeons a perfectly healthy Porky to get the pig into a hospital bed, appointing HIMSELF as Porky's new doctor! (Warner is asking WHY any porky young American in the pink of health SHOULD BE FORCED TO PAY for medical services they do not need.) These Looney Tuners then foreshadow this week's outrageous 200% increase in Hillarycare's Premiums by having Daffy trying to take a literal arm and left off Porky in payment for unneeded and shoddy medical services! Please see THE DAFFY DOC immediately, and vote next week for someone who "drains the gecko" STANDING UP!

This is one of the first Warner Brothers cartoons featuring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig together. Daffy is as daffy as always, but porky was really a porker in those days. Apparently director Robert Clampett and Warner decided to put Porky on a diet. In "The Daffy Doc," Porky barely fits in the circle when he exclaims, "Th-th-th-that's all, folks!" "The Daffy Doc" makes it obvious that the zany surrealistic, anarchistic humor of the brilliant Marx Brothers was the inspiration for the Daffy Duck, Porky Pig cartoons, in particular, the slapstick of Harpo. Compare this cartoon with the hilarious operating scene in "A Day At The Races," released two years earlier. The doc is comparable to Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush, while Daffy and Porky fit the characters of Tony and Stuffy.By the time "The Daffy Doc" appeared on the big screen, Daffy had stolen much of Porky's popularity, hence Daffy and not Porky is actually the star of the film with Porky having only a small part near the end. It was Daffy that first introduced the Warner Brothers cartoon theme, "The Merry-go-round Broke Down," a popular song of the day with new lyrics. But, alas, fame is fleeting. The fabulous hare, Bugs Bunny, showed up the same year "The Daffy Doc" was issued.The Warner Brothers cartoon characters are by today's standards politically incorrect, since each one had some sort of speech impediment, such as Porky Pig's stuttering. This highlights the need to keep an open mind in a free society. Think of what the entertainment world would have lost had these animated creations been censored."The Daffy Doc" is filled with sight gags galore. I won't give any of them away but be sure and notice Daffy's qualifications for being a physician in order to operate on Porky, his sheepskin and his license.

this one is funny. i saw it last night when i came home all wasted. its one with the old daffy, those ones are the best i think cuz he is always bein silly. one of the funniest things is right after daffy gets booted for freakin out, and he gets out of the lung, he gets all mad and says "He cant do this to me, i got a sheepskin!". another thing is when they show dr. quack stitching up his "patient" and he says something about daffy being crazy and how he doesn't understand the importance of the procedure. then he pulls the cover off the patient and its a football and he starts playin football. ya gotta see it. and a little reefer wont hurt. peace.

Surreal and fascinating, it's not terribly funny by todays standards, but still unusual . Daffy is a "quack" doctor who helps to operate on a patient by using various bits of machinery and artillery , before being kicked out and making a patient out of Porky Pig. Daffy hasn't matured in voice , design, or attitude, and Porky is almost a cameo, but the operation and the parts where parts of Daffy inflate after iron lung treatment are classics. Still surreal.
