The Ducktators Audience Reviews

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
emasterslake This WW2 Looney Tune is Black and White and takes place on a farm.Begins with the birth of a Duck version of Hitler. Then years later he got other ducks and geese to make him leader of his Nazi group.As well as a goose version Mussolini who also helps out.Then later one a Japanese Duck resembling Yamamoto comes from the west and does some mischief with Hitler and Mussolini.The Dove of Hope hates what is happening and tries to use words to settle things, not war.This cartoon is exactly what happened when WW2 began in a way. Even though in the TV versions the ending is a little rushed, but the version with the ending makes it better to watch.And just your average banned WW2 cartoon due to the use of the Nazi symbol, Hitler, Mussolini, Yamamoto, and one of the duck soldiers being black and acting like a black person which can be racist to the blacks.
au_law2001 Man, I remember this, I had a copy of this in one of those old compilations of Daffy Duck cartoons, way, way, back, when I was a kid. I can recall the Hirohito duck and his weird "Enrgish" singing and that parody of Hitler's speeches added with the "my momma a told me" and the Mussolini duck with the applause sign, and the only audience was the little fowl bound by a ball and chain. I also recall the marching of the three dictators with the "one, two, buckle my shoe..." and so on, and so on. Wooooo! All those years ago, these memories I had with this, and now on my age of 20, I can hardly believed that this was banned! But I would say it would be okay to watch this for fun or if you want to know a little about WWII, but you'll love it, it's good. By the way, that was not Daffy, during the salute, it was some lookalike, and there was this cut ending, where, after the rabbit knocks himself down, the three ran, only to be shot by a soldier coming out of an ad, and then the dove tells his children he hates war, but he chose no to run, and the there's three that didn't get away, then we see the dictators heads mounted on the wall, then some message says this is possible, all you have to do is buy United States Savings Bonds and Stamps, For Victory. I guess they cut that out because the advertising became useless after wards.
mreapeuro I am a high school history teacher and have used this cartoon in my classes for years. I find that it gives my students a real feel for the home front as well examples of symbolism. I especially like to see their take on the Dove of Peace-does it stand for the U.S. or England or the allies in general? It is a great discussion starter.
CharletonHestonsGunCollection This is one of the best propaganda cartoons made during WWII. This cartoon tells the story of how World War II began, but the world is a barnyard and the Axis powers are all ducks while the Allies are represented by "the Bird of Peace." Some of the gags are dated (mostly the Japanese jokes) and without at least some knowledge of pre-WWII events, some of them might slip by you. If you ever get to see this great cartoon consider yourself very lucky!
