Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Hitchcoc Marvin the Martian makes an appearance as he battles wits with Daffy Duck as they try to conquer Planet X. The interesting thing is that all the planets are lettered. Porky Pig is a young cadet. Despite his vocal limitations (almost all the Warner Brothers characters were candidates for speech therapy) he is really the smart one in the group. Daffy tries to take credit for every revelation that Porky puts forth, in his own inimitable, self-centered way. I've always loved the voice Mel Blanc developed for Marvin. Of course, everything heads in the direction of utter destruction. Anyway, this is a very entertaining offering from Chuck Jones and the gang.
FilmBuff1994 This old Looney Tunes short "Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 century" is fantastic and stars three great characters Daffy Duck,Porky Pig and Marvin The Martian.Its about Daffy Duck living in a sci-fi like universe were he is known as Duck Dodgers ,he is ordered to go to a place called Planet X to find a rear shaving cream.Once he gets their alongside Porky Pig he declares the planet in the name of Earth,but Marvin The Martian comes along and wants to declare it in the name of Mars ,and since they both agree that the planet isn't big enough for the two of them they both get into a small war for who gets it.
bob the moo When the earth's supplies of the shaving foam atom run low, the scientific community turns to Duck Dodgers, the space travelling adventurer, to seek out a new supply. Dodgers travels to the unexplored planet X, rich in the atom, to claim it for earth; however a Martian is also on the planet to claim it for Mars. A battle ensues.For many people this is Daffy's best cartoon; it certainly seems to have stuck in many peoples' childhood memories, mine included. The plot spoofs the Buck Rodgers series of the period reasonably well and sees Daffy going to planet X and battling Marvin with a variety of funny weapons. It starts a little slowly but gets better when Marvin appears. The gags may not be brilliant but they have a certain imagination and energy to them that make it all work pretty well.I much prefer Daffy in his `crazy duck' personae rather than his later work, which is probably why I only enjoyed this film rather than loved it. Here he seems quite restrained and it is only occasionally when his character shines through the character of Dodgers. Porky has little to do but is reasonably amusing in his minor role, but it is Marvin that gives the best support in his rather one-dimensional role.It will stick in my mind because it is such a good little spoof but it isn't as good as perhaps it has been remembered. On top of that, I didn't see any of the Daffy I really love and that was a problem for me.
Robert Reynolds This is one of the top five cartoons Warner Brothers did, which is saying something. When Warner's really hit one out of the park, they could match anyone, Disney included. As usual, poor Daffy is upstaged by Porky, who steals every short they're in together. Porky's only competition is Marvin the Martian. Porky even has the best two lines, including the last words. Daffy does match up well with Marvin, though, in terms of character chemistry. The Cartoon Network has developed a new show revolving around Dodgers, Porky's Space Cadet and Marvin, which premiered today. It's reasonably good but this is a masterpiece! Well worth watching. Most highly recommended.
