Daffy Duck Frustrated Fowl
(archive footage)
Daffy Duck: Frustrated Fowl was released in conjunction with Bugs Bunny: Hare Extraordinaire None of these shorts have been released on disc before, and Chuck Jones's "Daffy Dilly" (1948) is a welcome addition to any cartoon library. Daffy sets out to win the money a gloomy millionaire is offering to anyone who can make him laugh--and succeeds in spite of himself. But many of these cartoons are, simply, duds. "This Is a Life?" (1955), "People Are Bunny" (1959), and "Person to Bunny" (1960) spoof largely forgotten TV shows. How many viewers under 65 will recognize caricatures of Art Linkletter and Edward R. Murrow? The films pitting Daffy against Bugs play like weak remakes of Jones's "Rabbit Fire" trilogy or Friz Freleng's "Show Biz Bugs"--"Person to Bunny" even repeats some of Daffy's tap dance to "Jeepers Creepers" in "Show Biz." The very late "Suppressed Duck" (1965) is painfully unfunny. Once again, some of the films have been inexplicably cropped to simulate a widescreen format.

Las Sinfonías Tontas,(Silly Symphony) fueron una serie de cortometrajes animados experimentales producidos por Walt Disney Pictures desde 1929 hasta 1939. La primera sinfonía tonta, Título concebido por el propio Walt, fue The Skeleton Dance (1929), un musical animado, único e innovador para la época. Estas primeras obras, como Autumn (1930), y Mother Goose Melodies (1931) tuvieron una buena recepción del público; sin embargo, la serie alcanzó el éxito definitivo con la incursión del color a los cortometrajes. La producción Flowers and Trees (1932) coincidió con el perfeccionamiento del procedimiento tecnicolor. Silly Shimpony alcanzó un nuevo nivel de excelencia cuando Three Little Pigs (1933) se convirtió en un fenómeno, Gracias a la canción "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf" (Quién le teme al gran lobo feroz) y a las tres personalidades diferenciadas, que Walt consideraba un salto en la animación de personajes, el corto alcanzó una fama solo comparable a la de Mickey.
