BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "My Little Duckaroo" is a cartoon from 1954, so it is already over 60 years old, and it runs for 7 minutes like they usually do. Despite the combination of the legendary Chuck Jones, Michael Maltese and Mel Blanc working on this one, the outcome is not too memorable. Daffy is in the Wold West again and tries to take care of a bad guy who is much bigger and stronger than him. And this time, not even his comedy relief Porky can save him from the bad guy. The villain's name already tells us that a lot in here is about playing cards. If we learn anything from this little movie, then it is that western films were extremely popular in the 1950s and even made it into the animation genre. The jokes aren't all bad, but it's nowhere near the best Warner Bros have to offer around that time. I personally do not recommend the watch unless you really really love cartoons.

slymusic As a sequel of sorts to "Drip-Along Daffy" (1951), "My Little Duckaroo" features the blundering, incompetent Daffy Duck as the Masked Avenger and Porky Pig as his comedy relief sidekick. Their target is the burly outlaw Nasty Canasta, for whom there is a $10,000 reward. Sure, Daffy can fix his wagon! My favorite scenes: Being a music lover, I almost always enjoy hearing the Looney Tunes characters burst into song, even if off-key, as Porky sings and plays guitar during the opening credits of this cartoon short. Daffy accidentally shoots the top of his head, with a nice honking horn sound effect as his ten-gallon hat plops back onto his now bald head. During a trumpet fanfare, Daffy shouts, "This looks like a job for....", when suddenly his cape covers his head and the fanfare stops; his horse then burps during Daffy's enthusiastic introduction of himself. And check out Daffy's Mexican bandito getup.If you can overlook the absolutely weak ending, you may agree that "My Little Duckaroo" is a fine comedy Western cartoon. Most of the time, the loudly arrogant Daffy tries to prove his worth to Nasty Canasta, who in return offers Daffy not the least vestige of recognition!

Lee Eisenberg Sort of a re-imagining of Chuck Jones's earlier "Drip-Along Daffy", "My Little Duckaroo" casts Daffy and Porky as a western hero and sidekick out to battle evildoers. Daffy of course can't take on their quarry.While the cartoon mostly has a repeating gag - Daffy challenges Nasty Canasta but nothing comes of it - I noticed something. Early in the cartoon, after identifying himself, Daffy basically explains that he's totally in it for the money. Certainly under Jones's watch this lisping member of the genus Anas had become very greedy - often bragging about his avaricious side - while Porky would bring some sanity to the situation. And now Daffy giddily talks about how he hopes to collect the reward.That's the main point that I notice in the cartoon. I figure that "MLD" was mostly intended as a placeholder. Worth seeing.

Thomas Begeng This is an excellent example of the full development of Chuck Jones' Daffy character, Daffy's later greedy & self centred character is a much better vehicle for delivering the more sophisticated humour in this cartoon than the original manic, slapstick character created by Tex Avery in 1937.This cartoon is an extension of an earlier classic - Drip-along Daffy, in which Daffy attempts to bring the notorious outlaw Nasty Canasta to justice, when various attempts by the Cisco Kid (aka Daffy), Super Duck (also Daffy) and the Masked Avenger fail to budge Nasty Canasta, Daffy resorts to using physical means, stating he is going to give Nasty Canasta a "fist beating, frontier style" and to "fix his little red wagon" the expression on the face of the scrawny Daffy as Nasty Cansata rips his shirt by flexing his enormous muscles is priceless.From the classic attempt By Daffy to emulate Nasty Canasta by rolling a cigarette in his mouth (which of course fails dismally and explodes) to the classic "Cisco Kid" poker and arrest/bare knuckle fight scenes this is one big laugh for those who enjoy the 50's Daffy.
