9/10
Super American Duck!
10 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
CAST: Daffy Duck, Nazi Goat.

Director: FRANK TASHLIN. Story: Don Christensen. Animator: Arthur Davis. Music director: Carl W. Stalling. Voice characterizations: Mel Blanc. Producer: Leon Schlesinger.

Not copyrighted. A Warner Bros Looney Tunes cartoon. U.S. release: 21 August 1943. 1 reel. 8 minutes.

COMMENT: I've alays wanted to view one of Frank Tashlin's cartoons, and this most inventively drawn and stylized entry has all the characteristics of inventiveness and whimsy we expect of Frank Tashlin at his best.

Despite the fact that the primary reason for the cartoon's existence is its blatant propaganda message, Tashlin's approach is so appealing it still wins out over the script's simple-minded jingoism.

And I just love Daffy's transformation into Super American Duck!
