Horrid
15 December 2003
When Daffy's nephew returns from trick or treating with tales of a witch in a neighbouring house, Daffy takes him round to prove him wrong. Meanwhile the witch, desperate for a holiday, casts a spell on Speedy Gonzales to make him in her image so she can slip away.

I have seen quite a few Daffy/Speedy Gonzales cartoons and didn't believe that I could see them get worse than I'd seen already. However this must surely be the absolute nadir of the partnership - I refuse to believe that a more pointless cartoon was created for them.

The plot is an elaborate (laboured) set up, which only really serves to create one joke - that of Daffy being transformed into some sort of creature by magic. Suffice to say that this one joke is NOT funny but is really stupid and made worse for the 3 or 4 minutes spent cooking it up. I honestly am at a loss to work out what the makers were thinking with such a convoluted mess without a laugh to show for it.

The animation is poor. The witch is very blocky and the general state of animation is nearly as average. Daffy has no character to speak of and Speedy is even more bland and pointless than he often is.

Overall, I cannot describe how I feel adequately - I nearly had my mouth hanging open with shock at the end of this. Maybe I have an unfair memory of Warner Brothers cartoons, but I didn't think that they could possibly make them this bad.
