A new Duck Dodgers Theatre short

Duck Dodgers in Attack of the Drones puts our heroe Duck Dodgers, voiced by Billy West, In a parody With Star Wars Episode II. The Galactic republic senate, (which features cameos from the sci fi genre) needs an army to stop an impending invasion. From Here, Dodgers goes to the local 'Clone O Matic' and creates one hundred duplicates of himself.

The cartoon has alot of funny site gags and tries very hard to meet the standards of the golden cartoons, It does not meet with the classic "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century" but it is still very funny. Comparing it to the original, This one has alot of computer animation for Invaders, Space Crafts, Drones and the like and it lacks the layout designs of Maurice Noble as seen in many space-set Looney Tunes. A very good cartoon worth a watch.
