My own visionary. Attention! Everybody get ready and part! A star is in full swing for you. Yes, the most real and deserved. True, not an eagle, but only a spleen, but quite good. It is not a problem that he is whispering and generally not too friendly with his feathered head. But there's so much sparkling charm! A born balagur, a mastak for all wings and a deft rival of all carrot lovers, Duffy Duck is the first hero who glorified his duck family. He published his quack before the Second World War, but even now he does not know his competitors, although many of them have been created over the past century. Not all ducks like Disney's Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, or Black Cloak were meant to make the kids laugh. The Howard Duck from the Marvel industry was not fun, but almost became a human rights activist. Duffy is older than his animated relatives, there is no doubt about his survivability in the future, although his crazy character seems to have long squeezed the maximum.
A feathered merry man does not like to share precious time on the screen with anyone, when he himself is able to light up so that an adult can not resist laughter. At the dawn of his fever, Duffy made up a pair with Porky's pig, but in the 1953 cartoon from Chuck Jones, the spleen is the sole hero of the scene. Here he is a musketeer, here is a skier, and here is a pilot, everything he can do, only the script is sensible. He's a little tight. The obstinate artist is not in a hurry to draw proper pictures for a sleazy spruce, and Duffy has to sparing his throat, splashing out lispousal swearing. The crazy guy is even a little sorry, well, why does he endlessly get on the white screen, erase himself with a swallow and fall into the mute at someone else's will? But the star will be able to stand up for himself, because it is Duffy! If you need it, you will talk, you will reason, you will ask. Is it possible to seriously react to the terrible replicas of the duck? The most curved of the notes of Merry Melodies, the rabid duck maintains its reputation. In just six minutes, this guy is able to provide an impressive portion of a fervent mood.
Duffy grew out of the short pants of an ordinary member of the Warner Brothers project and got on level with Bugs Bunny himself not only due to his remarkable charm. It is on the example of a quirky spleen that countless generations of children’s audience have seen how great it is to be sharp on the tongue and everywhere in demand. In any team, starting from kindergarten, certainly stands out the most nimble, the most courageous and fun. He may not be loved or even envious, but such a boy is drawn, because where he is everyone else. Duffy Duck embodies the craving for attention in every child. No matter what tricks the lispery quack cracks off on the screen, he remains a harmless character. With Bugs, Bunny Duffy prefers to compete in absentia, in "Merry Melodies" does not enter the fierce battles of "Tom and Jerry." Chuck Jones’ cartoon title doesn’t fully reflect the character of the character. Well, what is this "mad" duck? This is a clever, resourceful and unrestrainedly cheerful duck! Duffy can famously put “The End” aside if he hasn’t already said it all. The bravado of the spleen from the first minutes is designed to inspire ridicule, but the further the narrative goes, the greater the anger is directed towards the unnamed artist, who in the course of sometimes dangerous jokes. Duffy is thrown from a height into the water, put an anvil instead of a parachute, but the aggression of the duck does not add. It can not be otherwise – do not forget that children are guided by the hero. Fun, even cocky, should not cause major trouble. And with the small Duffy entertainer will cope without looking.
Stars are not inherent modesty, they are used to universal adoration. Slurry from Warner Brothers plays by the generally accepted rules in show business, but changes them in its direction. In "Mad Duck" you can see the stages of the creative path from an ambitious contender to the celestials. If Duffy looks stupid, he soon realizes it and begins to look bold. This is the moral lesson for children: don’t be afraid to feel ridiculous. Laughter not only prolongs life, but also creates it.
