Duck Amuck

A Merrie Melodie ~ Cartoon ~

Directed by Chuck Jones

19537 min8.1 / 10

A gleefully anarchic, meta-comedic romp where reality itself becomes a plaything, driven by relentless visual gags and the animator's invisible hand.

The short-tempered Daffy Duck must improvise madly as the backgrounds, his costumes, the soundtrack, even his physical form, shifts and changes at the whim of the animator.
