This is by far one of the better Daffy and Speedy cartoons but it is unexceptional really. What helps elevate it is Herman the Robot who guarantees some laughs, and Daffy gives one of his better performances in a Speedy cartoon. I don't mind Speedy that much, and he was fine here. The music has some nice touches, Mel Blanc is great with the voices and there is some funny dialogue, but... the animation should have been much better than this. The Speedy cartoons often have animation that isn't that great and while Daffy Rents is better in animation than Quacker Tracker the backgrounds still looks dull. The story is predictable and some of the sight gags are hit and miss. Overall, as far as Daffy and Speedy cartoons go, while it had many problems this one is surprisingly watchable. 7/10 Bethany Cox
