The Essential Daffy Duck

Ok, this DVD collection has taken a bit of flack for containing much previously released material, and I can understand why. Nobody likes to pay big bucks for stuff they've already dished out for. But if you look at this not as a Daffy Duck collection, but rather as a Duck Dodgers DVD set with plenty of Daffy bonus shorts, it suddenly becomes worth your hard earned dollars. Consider: not only do you get the original classic Duck Dodgers in the 24th & 1/2 Century but also Duck Dodgers in Attack of the Drones (a Star Wars parody), Duck Dodgers Jr. from Tiny Toons and the Green Loontern story from the sadly neglected Duck Dodgers TV series. And if that wasn't enough, they've included Daffy Duck's Thanks-for-Giving special, featuring the hard to find Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24th & 1/2 Century. If you, like me are a fan of the Fowl of Tomorrow, this set is simply a must have. So claim this DVD in the name of the Earth already!

I really like this DVD. I like the old Warner Bros. cartoons a lot but I don't need to invest in the complete collection. The problem with this approach is that Daffy Duck isn't represented to the same extant as some of the other main characters. So, I have two of the "Collections" editions plus this one "Essential" collection.I was prepared to be disappointed with the later, 80s vintage cartoons, but instead was pleasantly surprised. "The Duxorcist" is really quite funny and also kind of creepy all at the same time!I recommend this DVD for those who aren't planning to buy all available Warner Bros. cartoon collections but who don't want to neglect a crucial character like Daffy.

Received it great condition

Essential Daffy Duck is a good collection of classic Daffy Duck cartoons. I love Robin Hood Daffy, Deduce, You say, Ali Baba Bunny and Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century. The second disc contains "newer" cartoons, dating from the 1980s; these are not ones I really appreciate. I would have been happier with more of the classic Warner Brothers cartoons of Daffy, that is why only 4 stars.

I have always been a fan of daffy but my personal favorite daffy episodes were the ones where he plays the crazy coot and goes whoo ho ho ho ho and all that jazz I just makes me laugh to think about it.

This entire collection is not "essential" if you own any of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection and/or superstar DVD's. I saw the contents for the upcoming release and it is as follows.Disc 1Porky's Duck hunt (DVD Debut)Daffy Duck & Egghead (seen on LTGC volume 3)The Daffy Doc (LTGC volume 5)Plane Daffy (LTGC Volume 4)The Great Piggy Bank Robbery (LTGC volume 2)Nasty Quacks (seen on Frustrated Fowl)Book Revue (LTGC volume 2)Duck Amuck (LTGC volume 1)Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a half Century (volume 1)The Scarlet Pumpernickel (volume 1)My Little Duckaroo (volume 6)A Star is Bored (volume 5)Deduce you say (volume 1)Ali Baba Bunny (volume 6)Robin Hood Daffy (volume 3)Disc 2The Duxorcist & Night of the Living Duck both previously on the Space Jam DVDThe only new to DVD cartoons are Porky's Duck Hunt as I previously mentioned, Duck Dodgers Jr which was a segment on the Tiny Toons TV series, superior duck, the 2003 short Attack of the Drones, and from the Duck Dodgers TV series, The green loontern. Not recommend unless you don't own the other DVD's from where these cartoons were previously seen.

I would have given it a higher rating, except that Disc 1 failed to play.

If you love Daffy this is great..The only complaint I have is that there are other classic Daffy episodes that were not included...This disk really focuses on the "Duck Dodgers" character so if you love that Daffy character you will like this set.
