Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Did you people see the same film I saw?
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
It is sad really, speaking as a huge Looney Tunes fan and seeing as the idea seemed good. To me, a good number of the later 80s-and-after Looney Tunes cartoons have been enjoyable, if not a patch on the classics, but Superior Duck is down there among the weakest.What it does have that is noteworthy is the superman cameo at the end, which was a lot of fun and makes one wish that the rest of the cartoon was as inspired (a couple of the verbal mistakes were reasonably amusing). Apart from some character designs lacking in smoothness, the animation is bright and colourful with the colours being pleasantly vibrant and the backgrounds lively, detailed and fluid if not exactly imaginative. The voice acting is also decent, with Eric Goldberg having the lion's share and doing very well, Thurl Ravenscroft has a very distinguished narration voice and Jim Cummings is spot on as Taz.There is one exception however and that is Frank Gorshin as Foghorn (he is pretty good as Daffy though), who sounds far too abrasive and harsh that the sharp wit of the character is completely lost. The dialogue here is not much to write home about, with serious need of more sharpness and wit. As aforementioned, a couple of the verbal mistakes early on were reasonably amusing but got increasingly predictable and rather groan-worthy, while the gags are somewhat pale and less-well-timed retreads of one from previous (and much better, we're talking classics like Duck Amuck) Looney Tunes cartoons. With the timing not as imaginative, the humour not as sharp and the notable (and much-missed) absence of Mel Blanc they just feel limp.Story-wise, Superior Duck is rather messy. The pacing feels rushed, with a constant hasty feel to it as a result of the cartoon being far too short, and it was not very focused, instead feeling pointlessly random and never feeling sure what the real story is supposed to be. The music doesn't really fit, not as annoying or as discordant as a lot of Bill Lava's scores for the 60s Looney Tunes cartoons but it does overbear the cartoon stylistically and lacks energy. Even more disappointing is the treatment of the Looney Tunes characters, here they are saddled with cameos varying in length (most of the time far too brief) and with at least half of them they're pointless (something that few other 80s-and-after Looney Tunes did), the things (like their personalities) that makes them so famous and so great as characters just doesn't come through.In summary, not a complete waste of time, but rather uninspired late effort. 4/10 Bethany Cox
Lame later effort from Chuck Jones that doesn't provide a single laugh. The "joke" is that Daffy is a superhero in some futuristic sci-fi city but he can't even get through his introduction without arguing with the narrator. It calls back to classic Daffy cartoons like Stupor Duck, Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, and Duck Amuck. You'd be better served going back and watching those shorts instead of this dud. The music is loud and annoying as is often the case with later Looney Tunes cartoons. The animation is colorful but flat and unimpressive. Frank Gorshin does the voice of Daffy and Foghorn Leghorn (one of the many characters thrown in for no purpose other than Jones looking for a cheap nostalgia 'pop'). His Daffy is okay but his Foghorn is terrible. Tony the Tiger himself, Thurl Ravenscroft, is the narrator. It's a complete failure of a cartoon that has only one noteworthy bit: the Superman cameo at the end.
I must be the only one who didn't like this. I saw this as part of Boomerang's Looney Tunes block and was excited at the prospect of a Chuck Jones I hadn't seen before. This very late cartoon from him though is full of painfully stale bits lifted from earlier cartoons.The plot is purportedly about Daffy as a superhero, but it quickly derails into "Duck Amuck" territory. It feels like a sloppy effort here, with pretty much every other Looney Toon other than Bugs making a gratuitous cameo.A never-before-seen Looney Tunes short is always something of a treat, but I was disappointed in this one. I still rate it a 4 out of 10 for even existing.
To begin with it saddens me that Chuck Jones died before he got to create more great cartoons. This is a funny cartoon that involves Daffy Duck in a recurring time for the cartoon. The tape is a compilation of many Daffy Duck hits such as: Stupor Salesman, Golden Yeggs, Naked Stork, Design for Leaving, and Show Biz Bugs, but this new cartoon entitled "Superior Duck" is just as good as all the old ones. It's a bit random, which makes it funny. Some funny recurring jokes within the cartoon are all the "saying mistakes", such as "Superior Duck able to leap tall locomotives..." "Superior Duck, faster than a speeding building..." More things that make this a great film is all the akwardness and use of the "Looney Tune" characters. They are somehow able to fit all the "Looney Tune" characters when they are telling the "Description" of Superior Duck. All in all this is a good movie that deserves to be watched by cartoon lovers young and old. I highly recommend it.
