This short, as well as a few other Warner shorts, is in the public domain, after Associated Artists Productions (which had somehow acquired the films in question and broadcast them on television in the 1960s) neglected to renew the copyright in time. more

Daffy Duck versus the Nazis, 18 January 2004
7/10
Author: travisimo from Pocatello, Idaho, USA

Daffy – the Commando is one of those rare World War II cartoons that rarely see the light of day now. However, for some reason, this cartoon shows up on two videos I had when I was a kid. I enjoyed this cartoon when I was little, but I really had no clue what was really going on. Daffy does his usual hijinks but flustering a couple of odd-looking birds and smashing Hitler on the head with a mallet. It's just so weird to see a scene like that with Hitler speaking in front of his followers. We've seen footage of that dozens of times, and it's just horrifying, but throw in Daffy Duck, a mallet, and you have some good physical comedy!

Now truth be told, I'm not the biggest Daffy fan, especially the early version of Daffy, but this cartoon does provide some good laughs and is an interesting piece of animation history. With Daffy Duck on our side, the enemy doesn't have a chance!

My IMDb Rating: 7/10
