Porky macht Camping

Porky Pig is out for a camping trip in the woods when he comes across a crazy duck. Porky's patience is pushed to the limit but, as Daffy points out, duck hunting season is closed and it's a $500 fine for even hurting a duck…..a fact that Daffy is happy to exploit.

Daffy is one of my favourite characters mainly because I like him in almost all his incarnations – be he the crazy duck or the bitter, twisted duck. Here he is the manic crazy duck who goes hooting over the horizon, and it works well. The plot sees Daffy just trying to wind Porky up, the film does what you expect it to and the punch line is pretty obvious.

However the actual action is very funny and is totally made by a great performance from Daffy – he sets the mood of the film. The downside of the film is the animation quality on the characters themselves. Porky looks really basic and like he was drawn without as much care and attention as normal, but Daffy looks fine and the backgrounds are all OK.

Overall this is a great short if you are a fan of Daffy in his manic state. Crazy ducks = good fun in my book, so I really liked this!
