"The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" is one of the greatest Daffy Duck cartoons ever made! Directed by Bob Clampett, this film brims with energy that doesn't let up for a second! Daffy is hilarious as Duck Twacy, a private investigator on the scent of a piggy bank crime wave.
Highlights: After Duck Twacy's own piggy bank has been stolen, he forgets his identity and decides to call Duck Twacy, hence starting a dialogue with himself. When Duck Twacy first encounters all the villains glaring downward at him, listen to his voice as he reacts in horror and names each character. After all the gangsters lunge toward Duck Twacy through a doorway, the hapless duck's body parts actually SEPARATE (as only Bob Clampett would permit such a wild sight gag) and wriggle & squirm around all the gangsters' bodies to form Duck Twacy in once piece again.
"The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" is one of the best Daffy Duck cartoons, period. Anyone who loves the "daffy" directorial style of Bob Clampett is going to highly admire this film. In addition, if you are a fan of composer/orchestrator Carl Stalling, then listen very closely to the music score for this cartoon, as you will most likely be able to pick out certain melodies that you recognize, even if you don't know the actual titles of all the songs.
