Foreverisacastironmess Detective noir was never as much fun as when Daffy took it on in this 1946 animated masterwork. Just what is it about this cartoon that makes it one of the exceptionally special and long-lasting beloved ones? It has such a great rare kind of quality and appeal about it that makes it such a brilliant little watch to this day, and I just love it. I find it to be a surrealistic ride into freaky cartoon nightmaresville! And while to me it doesn't seem like it was specifically made to be as disorienting and eerie as possible like in the best and most 'out there' of the Betty Boop shorts, it's surely uncanny and offbeat in its own very special way. I love how, for as brief as it is, it manages to quite wonderfully play into the pop culture and folklore of old comic books. I think that I must have seen it before at some point when I was very little, because for the longest time whenever I would think of vintage cartoons I always had a vivid image that would pop into my head of a figure in a shadowed room surrounded by weird colourful monster faces all angrily glaring down at him, and I never did know exactly where it was from... Then much later when I eventually just happened to watch this and it got to that part where things really do take off so magnificently as Daffy meets all of the marvelously spooky and fun bizarre criminals who all look like their namesakes and they all give chase, I was delighted as it clicked into place and the mystery of the unknown cartoon was finally solved! They're all so neat! I like the pumpkin one, the hammer-headed one, the Batman one is an especially hilarious visual play on words, but my favourite one is um.."Guess who!" I hate to negative-it-up, but I really hate that stupid campy pig, he somehow manages to single-handedly mar the ending, as well as for me at least take the whole short down a peg! If it weren't for him, I'd happily bestow a mighty ten! The short just demands it because it's still so amazing, and it will forever be. It is indeed fantastic and unbelievable!!!

Prismark10 Daffy Duck appears in a parody of Dick Tracy in this Warner Brothers short cartoon.An inventive take as Daffy goes in search of the stolen piggy banks as even keeping them in a safe place is not sufficient.They get to parody the classic Dick Tracy villains with Flat-head, Pumpkin-head, Double header, 88 Teeth, Batman and the most inventive of all being Rubber-head with his catchphrase of 'I'm going to rub you out' whilst making Daffy literally disappear.Daffy is excitable, funny, he even bumps into Sherlock Holmes. A parody cartoon at its best.

slymusic "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" is one of the greatest Daffy Duck cartoons ever made! Directed by Bob Clampett, this film brims with energy that doesn't let up for a second! Daffy is hilarious as Duck Twacy, a private investigator on the scent of a piggy bank crime wave.Highlights: After Duck Twacy's own piggy bank has been stolen, he forgets his identity and decides to call Duck Twacy, hence starting a dialogue with himself. When Duck Twacy first encounters all the villains glaring downward at him, listen to his voice as he reacts in horror and names each character. After all the gangsters lunge toward Duck Twacy through a doorway, the hapless duck's body parts actually SEPARATE (as only Bob Clampett would permit such a wild sight gag) and wriggle & squirm around all the gangsters' bodies to form Duck Twacy in once piece again."The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" is one of the best Daffy Duck cartoons, period. Anyone who loves the "daffy" directorial style of Bob Clampett is going to highly admire this film. In addition, if you are a fan of composer/orchestrator Carl Stalling, then listen very closely to the music score for this cartoon, as you will most likely be able to pick out certain melodies that you recognize, even if you don't know the actual titles of all the songs.

Markc65 Probably the greatest cartoon ever made. Hilarious, surreal, and exciting, a great example of what the medium of animation can achieve. Amazingly distorted and rubbery animation by the great Rod Scribner. This one really solidifies the earlier wilder Daffy's personality. It proves Daffy doesn't need any co-stars or straightmen to be funny.
