Porky Pig's Feat

'Porky Pig's Feat (1943)' is great. This 'Looney Tunes' short is packed wall-to-wall with chaotic, side-splitting sight gags and an unrelenting energy that's simply infectious to behold. When Porky Pig and Daffy Duck are saddled with an unreasonably hefty hotel bill by an intimidating manager, the duo try everything they can think of to get out of the building without paying a single penny. It's a really fun experience that feels as though it could go on forever, never running out of steam even as it approaches its final gag. Its set-pieces are all vital and amusing, mixing pure visual bliss with delightfully 'contemporary' (now dated) references that really sell the personality of its lead characters. Mel Blanc's impeccable voice work also does that; there really is no substitute for the impossibly talented actor when it comes to injecting life into shorts like this. Overall, this is just a fantastic effort that's one of the best 'Looney Tunes' I've seen so far. It's a total blast.

I think this is one of my personal favourite Daffy and Porky cartoons. It is gorgeous to look at, it is fast paced and it is hilarious. It is the first black and white Looney Tunes cartoon I have seen, but I didn't mind that at all. As a matter of fact, I loved it. The animation is amazingly detailed and the black and white is like looking at a gorgeously shot film noir. The music as always is wonderful and playful, and the short is very fast paced with some truly hilarious gags delivered at breakneck speed. Daffy and Porky both do a great job, Porky is a great foil for Daffy but Daffy almost steals the show from under Porky. Not to mention brilliant vocal characterisations from the one and only Mel Blanc. Overall, gorgeous and hilarious, a must see for fans of Porky or Daffy or both. 10/10 Bethany Cox

The hotel bill is due. Porky Pig promises the manager to pay before leaving. His partner Daffy Duck is out cashing a check. Sadly, Daffy loses it all in a craps game on the elevator ride up. Instead of admitting his mistake, he decides to confront the manager and go full Daffy. The duo tries to escape without paying.

This is a black and white cartoon although I remember it as a colored version. It is so much better in color. It is getting a little late to be in black and white. There are so many memorable gags. The title is a minor issue. It doesn't really make sense. This is a classic as long as it's colored.

One of the funniest of the Frank Tashlin cartoons -- Porky Pig and Daffy Duck try to skip out on an overpriced hotel stay! The Seinfeldian immorality of "Porky Pig's Feat" is quite surprising for 1943, a time when cartoons were frequently used to illustrate didactic military and patriotic themes.

Porky's bill for two nights stay at the Broken Arms Hotel is outrageous. He's even charged separately for the "air, sunshine and goodwill!" When the big fat French guy from the hotel comes to collect, Porky says his pal Daffy is in charge of the money. Unfortunately, Daffy has just thrown away money in a craps game.

One thing leads to another and the Frenchman winds up challenging Daffy on the "field of honor."

Well, you know Daffy doesn't have a lot of honor, and they never get to that duel - just a war to see if they can get out of the hotel without paying while the big hotel manager makes sure the opposite happens. All parties take a beating in this war. In the end, Daffy calls up Bugs Bunny hoping he'll help!

It was odd to see Daffy Duck in black-and-white. In all the Looney Tunes Collection DVDs, I've always seen him in color. This was part of the Volume Three.
