AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

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

utgard14 Mild-mannered newspaper reporter Cluck Trent overhears a television program and mistakenly believes the villain on the show is real. So he changes into his super-powered alter-ego Stupor Duck and flies off in search of the fictional villain. He finds himself in one mess after another in his attempts to foil what he thinks are the villain's plans but are really something else entirely, like a building being demolished and a rocket being sent to the moon by the government.Hilarious Daffy Duck parody of Superman. Being a lifelong fan of Supes, I naturally adored this short. It's a hoot with Daffy making an idiot of himself repeatedly as only he could. The animation is wonderful with nice colors and good action. The voicework from Mel Blanc and Daws Butler is great. A funny short that Daffy and Superman fans will want to check out.

Mightyzebra You do not have to have watched any superman films or read any superman comics to enjoy this. I did, so I'm the proof. I loved this for Daffy Duck being so good and for most of the humour. I enjoyed the whole principle of the cartoon - Daffy being a famous character that everybody knows and I thought Robert McKimson directed it well. All of the other episodes I have watched where Daffy plays the part of a famous person were directed by Chuck Jones.In this cartoon, a normal (duck - maybe not normal...) secretary is working one day, when he suddenly goes into an imagination fit. He daydreams that he is a super duck and that he will save the world from a Russian spy. Either for real in the episode or in his head (it is never clear), Daffy goes off to try and rid the world of this evil spy, but he does not really manage it...I recommend this cartoon to people who like the crazy and greedy Daffy, to people who like superman and to people who like Looney Tunes and Daffy Duck in general. Enjoy "Stupor Duck"! :-)

Lee Eisenberg I saw "Stupor Duck" in the compilation "Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island". When Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales - stranded on an uncharted island - find a wishing well, Daffy wishes to be Super Duck so that he can fly off the island. The only problem is, he gets turned into Stupor Duck, who bungles every mission...mainly due to the fact that his enemy doesn't even exist (he heard "Ratnik" on a TV show that the man in the next room was watching). So, he spends the cartoon getting himself into various and sundry embarrassing situations, all of which result in him getting maimed somehow. Anyway, this might not be the best cartoon that the crowd behind the Looney Tunes cartoons ever created, but it's great to watch just to see what happens to Daffy. Will he ever triumph?! I agree: they need to find better places to put buildings.

jfyoung-1 Daffy Duck had many great cartoons, but some of the best ones were ones in which he played ridiculous parts like in "Robin Hood Daffy" or "Drip-Along Daffy", etc. However, almost all of those cartoons were directed by the late great Chuck Jones. This one, "Stupor Duck", was an exception as Bob McKimson directed it. Yet, it follows the same pattern as Daffy, despite his great power, is hopelessly overmatched as a super hero, especially against a non-existent villain that he overhears on a TV set. The animation on this cartoon is great for 1956 compared to other late WB cartoons. All in all, a Daffy cartoon that is must-see if you are a fan of the little black duck.
