SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
... View MoreAlthough it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
... View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
... View MoreThe 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
... View MoreDaffy causes his own concussion and goes into a dream state where he becomes a famous detective, Duck Twacy. He is in search of a missing piggy bank. In order to solve the crime he must meet up with several arch criminals with weird names (like in the Dick Tracy strip). Of course, this is Bob Clampett and these are Warner Brothers characters. There is lots of hooting and hollering on the part of our inimitable duck. He is obsessed with comic books and can think of nothing else. Like so many of these characters, Bugs, Yosemite Sam, and others, he always seems to land on his feet in the end. Well, not quite in this one.
... View More"The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" is a Warner Bros cartoon from 70 years ago and it stars only Daffy from the gang. That is not why I did not really like it. It's more because hardly any of the jokes were good. I liked the taxi driver part and also the giant rat/mouse, but that's pretty much everything I found mildly funny. The second half with all these other character didn't really do anything for me. This short is directed by the very prolific Robert Clampett and the not-so prolific Michael Sasanoff. Warren Foster is the writer and he worked on very many Looney Toons as well. All the characters are voiced by Mel Blanc as usual. In my opinion, this is not among the best or even better cartoons out there from the glorious Warner Bros days, even if it's fairly popular. I'd really only recommend it to huge Daffy fans.
... View MoreThe Great Piggy Bank Robbery, what can I say. This is one of my favourite Daffy Duck cartoons, though Duck Dodgers in the 24.5 Century and Duck Amuck are my favourites. It is fast, furious, fun and original, like cartoons should be, and as a parody of Dick Tracy just a sheer delight from start to finish. Daffy is superb, manic and hilarious, and he is well served by superb dialogue, brilliantly timed gags and a great story. Other outstanding elements too were the spectacular animation, one of the best-looking Looney Tunes cartoons in my opinion, the rousing music and the brilliant vocal talents of Mel Blanc.Overall, absolutely delightful, that delivered exactly what it promised. 10/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreDaffy shows up in an entertaining, well-animated old cartoon, being funny and entertaining imagining he is Duck Twacey (like Dick Tracey - get it?).The animation is not very detailed, but good compared to quite a lot of Daffy Duck cartoons in the not-too-distant future. The person who animated Daffy made him in a fun, likable "wonky" style - which you don't usually see in your average Daffy Looney Tunes episode. The jokes are not top notch, but neither are a few of the older Looney Tunes, but you are likely not to watch this without laughing at least once.The plot and story is also very good and entertaining, although it feels a wee bit too short. What happens is Daffy is very desperate for his next Dick Tracey comic and he wants to be just like his idol. By complete accident he knocks himself out and imagines that he is Duck Twacey, famous and good detective. He goes out to find hundreds of stolen piggy banks and to make sure the criminals are taught their lesson...An incredibly entertaining and fun Looney Tunes episode. Thumbs up for Daffy in "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery"!8 and a half out of ten.
