Looney TV: Daffy Duck For President (2004)

20 years ago, noted animator Chuck Jones wrote and illustrated Daffy Duck For President, a cautionary tale, if you will, of Daffy's short-sighted aspirations to eliminate best frenemy Bugs Bunny, mostly to put an end to duck hunting season.

Seven years later, and two after Jones' passing, WB adapted the book into the following short subject, with the late Joe Alaskey (ex-Out of This World) as both Bugs & Daffy.



Apparently, Daffy didn't completely understand the Constitution, just like a certain sitting President........!

Rating: A.

Interestingly, that short was written by Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone, who would later become the producers of The Looney Tunes Show on Cartoon Network.

This came during Duck Dodgers' run, and that, too, was produced and written by Brandt & Cervone, who were relatively new at WB around that time.
