Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Yankee Doodle Daffy is an enjoyable cartoon. It isn't the best though, the pace is a tad too fast and the title is enough to leave you puzzled as it has little to do with the cartoon itself. But Daffy himself elevates it, he is absolutely brilliant here, uproariously funny as you'd expect. Porky is once again sidelined but he is good, and Sleepy is entertaining with a voice that is totally unexpected, though they could've perhaps made the ending longer I felt it ended rather abruptly. Other than Daffy, I immensely enjoyed the song and dance routines, especially the Carmen Miranda impression. The pictorial signs while maybe ambiguous to a newcomer to Looney Tunes were also a hoot. There are some great gags and the plot allows Daffy to have fun. All in all, I enjoyed the cartoon, in spite of the head-scratching title. 8/10 Bethany Cox

An earlier Daffy Duck episode, this topsy turvy, wild Daffy Duck short will entertain some and annoy others. As bob the moo (on this site) is constantly putting forward, Daffy is always crazier in his early days. This is one of the cases. Many people may be irritated by the fact that Porky is being annoyed by Daffy, but if you look aside, you will see brilliant gags, an entertaining plot and good music featured. This is my favourite Daffy Duck episode due to the music, Daffy's crazy personality - and that is about it. Very well worth watching!In this, Daffy is an Actor's Agent representing a small duck (with a huge lollipop) to Porky, a talent scout. Using the most crazy, fun and musical ways imaginable, Daffy shows Porky what the small duck can do. At the same time though - Porky has a plane to catch...For Daffy Duck fans who prefer the crazier little black duck and for people who like music in cartoons. Enjoy! :-)

"Yankee Doodle Daffy" is quite an excellent Warner Bros. cartoon starring two of our favorite characters, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, both voiced by that magnificent "Man of a Thousand Voices," Mel Blanc. Porky is the president of Smeller Productions, and he so looks forward to his day off. He doesn't get it, though, thanks to Daffy, a severely pushy talent agent, trying to impress Porky with his brand new find, a kid duckling who only cares about his lollipop.Highlights: Upon Daffy's first appearance, he puts away Porky's suitcases, golf clubs, and cap, all in rhythm to Carl Stalling's humorous musical accompaniment. Daffy dresses up in a Carmen Miranda outfit and sings a song with incredibly rapid lyrics, beginning and ending with "Boom chicky boom chicky boom!" Daffy makes up his own words to the William Tell Overture while galloping after Porky down a few flights of stairs; he then ends his song with a couple bars of pure swing."Yankee Doodle Daffy" was directed by Friz Freleng, and no wonder. Friz was a genuine music lover, a pure "song-and-dance man" who knew how to incorporate music in his cartoons better than any other director.

With the title, I thought I'd see a parody of the great Jimmy Cagney film, "Yankee Doodle Dandy," but that wasn't the case.The story was just Daffy trying to impress a movie studio mogul (Porky Pig) to get a starring role in a film. He holds Porky captive in the office for awhile and then follows him in a plane and even falling from the airplane, disguised as a parachute.All the while, Daffy performs his songs and impersonations. The only one I thought was funny was of Carmen Miranda, the lady who made fruit-laden hats famous. Overall, however, this just wasn't funny, which is very unusual for a Daffy Duck cartoon. Hey, ya can't win 'em all!
