An episode reference not mentioned elsewhere on IMDb: A Feud There Was.

Author: Mightyzebra from Scotland

What first surprised me about this episode was the opening: it quite obviously referenced the episode I mentioned above. In "A Feud There Was," there is a group of American Westerners in the middle of the forest constantly shooting their guns and there is a woman who makes the tea and the meals. That was the case in this episode. One minute through, however, and no more references occur. The episode then features a turkey who is going to be eaten for Thanksgiving and Daffy Duck. Daffy is annoyed that the Turkey has to eat some of Daffy's share of food, as he receives very little himself. When he sees the huge meal that the humans have given the turkey, Daffy then realises that the turkey is being fattened for Thanksgiving and he sees this as an opportunity to eat all that is being given to the turkey, while he tells the turkey he cannot fatten himself up or otherwise he will be eaten...

Another episode reference later on is "Tom Turk and Daffy", which I will not give away in this review. Overall, I thought the episode was worth watching, it gave a greedy side of Daffy you do not usually see and there were a few witty statements and all right gags. I do not think I will watch it again, but it is funny enough.

I recommend this to people who like all Daffy Duck and episode references (if they've seen at least one of the original cartoons). Enjoy "Holiday For Drumsticks"! :-)

A little predictable in the story, but still very funny

Now I really enjoyed Holiday for Drumsticks, but is it the best Looney Tunes cartoon? No, not for me- I found it a little predictable in the story to find it absolutely exceptional. But it is still very funny, and an example of a cartoon that begins well and is nicely rounded off. The animation is impressive, and the music is pretty good too. The sight gags are plentiful and work really well especially the ones in the latter half, and the dialogue is fitfully amusing. The characters are likable too, Daffy is more greedy if anything else but this works well, but he is almost upstaged by that poor turkey. Oh, and Mel Blanc's vocals are stellar. Overall, very funny if somewhat predictable. Definitely worth watching. 8/10 Bethany Cox

a preview of the coming obesity epidemic

This time, filmdom's most drake* gets a turkey to give up his food, and then eats it. This proves unfortunate for him once Thanksgiving comes around. Mostly, this cartoon is really funny because of what Daffy Duck does in trying to avoid getting eaten (a true display of his craven, self-preserving side).

The sight of a morbidly obese Daffy makes me think of the current obesity epidemic. Who would have guessed that Daffy would have become a couch potato? But otherwise, it's just a regular cartoon. Fairly entertaining.

*A duck is the female of the species, while a drake is the male. Therefore, the second most famous Looney Tune would more accurately be called Daffy Drake. But it's a bit late to change the name after seventy years.
