Daffy Duck is one of Looney Tunes' best, most interesting in personality and most iconic characters and one of my favourites in animation. His best cartoons are cartoon masterpieces and there is good reason as to why Daffy is used frequently.'Scrap Happy Daffy' is not one of his very finest cartoons, but it is still great and an interesting piece of history. It is not subtle in its treatment of Hitler, clearly intentional and not objectionable (if slightly too unsubtle for a cartoon), and paints him in the very opposite of a positive light (then again when was he never not?). Few people are going to object to this portrayal, it is widely acknowledged that Hitler was a terrible man and a cartoon portraying him in this way is for the time quite brave.The animation as to be expected is very good. The black and white is crisp and there is meticulous background detail and smooth character drawing.Carl Stalling to me was always the best Warner Brothers/Looney Tunes composer as well as the most consistent. 'Scrap Happy Daffy' is another example of consistent greatness, his music is lushly orchestration, cleverly synchronised, vibrant, characterful and not only fits and adds to the action but actually enhances it.While there is a seriousness in the message it's portraying, which makes its point but never preachy, 'Scrap Happy Daffy' doesn't forget to be funny. Sometimes it is even hilarious and is timed very well. Daffy has his manic, energetic and witty persona and carries the cartoon with aplomb.Voice acting is very good, superb in the case of Mel Blanc. 9/10 Bethany Cox

. . . would-be Austrian World-Destroyer Adolph Hitler's birth certificate (just as "Marion Mitchell Morrison" was the actual, once-revised baby name for the actor Latterly known as John "Il Duce" Wayne) during this Looney Tune, SCRAP HAPPY DAFFY. Some film historians see SCRAP as a spoof of the documentary made by Hitler's personal Videographer, Leni Riefenstahl, titled in English as TRIUMPH OF THE WILL. However, most Warnologists (those who specialize in showing how the Looney Tunes beat BOTH Nostradamus and Astrology when it comes to predicting the Future for 21st Century America) zoom in on the fact that between 2:04 and 2:05 of this animated short, a close-up of a horse's behind (obviously meant to foretell Putin's Puppet, Rump) transforms into Hitler's head! Earlier, Daffy's mirror image marching in his "Salvage Warden" outfit transforms into three visuals--Mussolini Daffy, Hitler Daffy, and Hirohito Daffy (representing the leaders of the three "Axis Powers" out to annihilate the U.S. during World War Two) as the song lyrics mention "Freedom's Foes." This is Warner's way of warning We of the 21st Century that just because someone's on the U.S. Presidential Ballot does NOT preclude the likelihood that he's a Russian KGB operative subject to Blackmail due to $100 million plus paid to him by Russian Mafia Go-Betweens for "Naming Rights," as documented by Disney's Nightline Program drilling down into the Real Life Manchurian Candidate Nov. 10, 2016.

Another propaganda gem! This is dated beyond belief, which makes it easier to watch.This harped on recycling before it became the norm. Speaking of which, I think it was "Norm" McCabe (rimshot) behind this one too. Tashlin gets deserved credit too.The Nazi stereotypes gave a laugh to everyone who saw this at my place that night. I have a DVD chock full of animation like this.Just remember that this is a propaganda cartoon from a long time ago. There's no need to get uptight about it anymore.That said, the animation itself is limited. But it's still worth a look or three.

A great piece of war propaganda, and really funny too. Along with Clampett, Tashlin was an espouser of the Warner Bros. "Rowdyism." This cartoon is filled with many sharply-timed great gags. It also has the signature Tashlin montage scene. Shot in black and white, the backgrounds employ beautifully stark graphic designs. The Tashlin color cartoons never used this for some reason. There is also some UPA-like stylized animation of Daffy's ancestors in one scene. The Daffy here is the emotionally exuberant Daffy of the early forties. In cartoons from this period he was sometimes used as a hero to thwart the Nazis, which is what happens here. Specifically, a nazi goat sent over to eat his scrap pile. This was a humorous way to remind people on the homefront to help pitch in the war effort and recycle their junk. It is rarely shown on t.v. and hard to find on video, but if you get a chance I recommend you watch it.
