Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century

This was one of the best Looney Tune cartoons ever made. All the gags are so fresh and funny, it makes my sides ache with laughter. It's a classic Looney Tunes cartoon, with all that wonderful cartoon violence that no one can do without. Definite enjoyment.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you what has to be the classic of all classic Looney Tunes cartoons. Duck Dodgers (or Daffy Duck) is summoned to head to Planet X to retrieve more of the shaving cream atom for Earth. He finds it (with a little help from his Eager Young First Class Space Cadet Porky Pig), but runs into trouble when he discovers that Marvin the Martian wants to claim the planet for Mars!

I don't care how many times I watch it, I still burst out laughing when Duck Dodgers makes out his plan and realizes that he doesn't understand it! This is one of my personal favorites, and I pity anyone who hasn't seen this classic cartoon. This is truly one of Chuck Jones's masterpieces. And now this comment is claimed for the Earth in the name of DUCK DODGERS IN THE 24 1/2TH CENTURY!!!!!!

Easily one of Chuck Jones and WB's top five best cartoons, "Duck Dodgers" is still hilarious and inventive after 50 years. Daffy Duck, always fun to watch, and his companion Porky have to travel to Planet X to discover a precious atom. They have to compete with the Marvin the Martian for the discovery of the atom and the planet. I have to agree with the below user-comment that the opening scenes are breathtakingly surreal and mind-blowing. The cartoon is best appreciated if you seen the other Looney Tunes starring Daffy Duck and Porky. A classic.

This is quite possibly the best Daffy/porky pig cartoon ever. This short introduced Duck Dodgers into the Americon lexicon and I can't say anything else about this short that hasn't been said before by a great many many people. Needless to say this cartoon is greatness. And if you haven't seen it before, you in all likelihood just don't like Loony Tunes in the least and there's no help for you anyway. To everyone else this is and always will be a classic, and rightfully so. Like the first disk of the Loony Tunes golden Collection, the second disk also leaves the best for last. This hilarious Hugo nominated cartoon is on Disk 2 of the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1"

My Grade: A+

This Daffy Duck spoof of Buck Rogers in the Twenty-fifth Century is fairly funny, especially once he has met up with Marvin the Martian.

"Duck Dodgers" has been given the task of finding Planet X, the only remaining source of Illudium Phosdex (the shaving cream atom). He sets off with his side kick, eager young space cadet Porky Pig, and eventually finds the planet which he claims for Earth, a few seconds later Marvin arrives claiming it for Mars and the two of them have a stand-off involving Acme Disintegration Guns, Ultimatum Guns and finally they each attack the other with explosives that leave little of the planet intact.

I found this to be pretty funny, Daffy usually amuses me more than Bugs Bunny due to his general incompetence and Marvin the Martian is always funny.
