I really liked the movie
The story is a little, well, crazy, but what else would you expect from Looney Tunes, but Daffy Duck and Dick Pig works as a movie. However, I have to say that the action was very over the top. Of course, we’re talking Looney Tunes here, specifically Daffy Duck, but still.
Then the joke fell on me a bit
There were some funny moments, no doubt, but the appropriate wit and humor that defines Looney Tunes was either missing or rare. But otherwise, I can recommend the film for a hand-drawn cartoon in today’s world. This review comes from Germany, where the film has already been released.
