Critic Reviews

Renee Schonfeld, Common Sense Media
Funny vintage cartoons with lots of slapstick violence.
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
The characters remain as silly and as much fun as ever, so it's always nice to see them.
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
Any movie that uses old Warner Bros. cartoons is a friend of mine.

And now we come to another childhood favorite of mine. Daffy Duck's Quackbusters saw a lot of heavy rotation in my VCR when I was a kid, and I hadn't really seen it much since then. I believe it airs on TV once in a while, but I really wanted my own copy and I found one recently. It culls together various older cartoons and combines them with new animated wrap-around segments to form a story about Daffy Duck inheriting a fortune but being forced to use it for the purposes of good. In turn, he decides to start a paranormal investigation business with Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig. The film also features Sylvester and Tweety Bird in smaller parts. I can't really see any flaws in it at this point because it is what it is. The animation, new and old, is great, and the film is very enjoyable and fun to watch. That's enough for me.

A fun and entertaining Looney Tunes movie that combines Daffy Duck with spooky movies like Ghostbusters and stuff. Yes, it does use the old cartoons, but I don't mind, it's fun anyway, and I'm sure kids will like it too.

The wraparound story is animated with as much care as the original cartoons.
