Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . that the Dastardliest Disasters, the Bloodcurdlingiest Carnivals of Carnage, and the Costliest Catastrophes always seemed to be happening in the presence of Super Heroes. It doesn't really matter if Earth's reputed "saviors" come from D.C. Comics or the Marvel Universe, the recipe for Mayhem and Destruction is pretty much the same: When the Costume Queens suit up, Apocalyptic Chaos is on stand-by, with Anarchaic Armegeddon waiting in the wings. A Super Hero did NOT bring down Hitler. Rather, the self-proclaimed "Fuhrer of the Thousand-Year-Reich" was done in by an army of Average Joes, drafted from the farm fields, marching bands, and barber shops of Real Life. Most people suspected of having Super Hero tendencies get burned at the stake, like Joan D'Arc. To drive all of this home, Warner tries to parry the counter-intuitive if not mindless Super Hero Worship of the other Tinseltown Fantasy Factories by offering the always hapless Daffy Duck in this STUPOR DUCK role. Whether it's Undemolishing imploded high-rises, raising "sinking" submarines, or riding North Korean "attack rockets" to the moon, STUPOR DUCK always manages to be in the wrong place at the worst time. Daffy may not be as much of a Threat to Civilization as Superman, Ironman, Batman, or Captain America, but that ain't saying much.
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.
TheLittleSongbird I love Looney Tunes and I love Daffy Duck, always have. And I really liked Stupor Duck. I agree it is corny, some of the names and one or two of the puns may either make you laugh, cringe or both as it did with me. The story is simple but well told and goes at a good pace.The animation is also very nice and colourful with lovely backgrounds and colours and all the characters are drawn nicely, and the music is full of energy and bombast. The writing while corny(in an entertaining way) is witty and clever, and I loved the gags, there are a number of them and they all work, and Daffy's facial expressions.Daffy is the star of the show, and as always he is vastly entertaining. Mel Blanc's vocals are sublime as well. Overall, great fun. 9/10 Bethany Cox
slymusic Directed beautifully by Robert McKimson, "Stupor Duck" is a fine Daffy Duck cartoon that casts him in the familiar blue suit & red cape, disguised as mild-mannered newspaper reporter Cluck Trent. This short is full of wonderful moments of confidence in Stupor Duck's face as he addresses the audience, which I always love to see cartoon characters do. But, as we've come to learn from the screen character of Daffy Duck, he is completely wrong for the job of a superhero.My favorite moments from "Stupor Duck" include: Daffy crashing through a window (reminiscent of the Three Stooges) and slamming into a building; Daffy leaping over a tall building and getting his cape caught on a flagpole; Daffy mistakenly donning a witch's outfit from the broom closet; and the trapdoor on Daffy's costume opening as he prepares to save a collapsing building.Enjoy "Stupor Duck" on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 Disc 1. Be sure to laugh out loud at Daffy Duck's incompetence!
