Mr. (and Mrs.!) Daffy Duck are expecting four ducklings; Daffy plays the nervous father, and Porky drops by to offer congratulations. Soon, a bald eagle hijacks the runt of the litter, and Daffy gives chase (despite the fact he's been celebrating the birth a little too much).

Wise Quacks Audience Reviews

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . surely is the Prophetic Theme of WISE QUACKS, a seven-minute Looney Tune from the 1930s. As always, Warner Bros.' Early Warning Division proves to be more accurate than Nostradamus and all of Today's Astrologers put together in forecasting 21st Century America's Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti. As WISE QUACKS develops, it becomes clear that drunken Daffy Duck is meant to represent W. Bush, with Porky Pig standing in for President-Elect Rump. Much of WISE QUACKS is devoted to a blow-by-blow recounting of the debacle of W.'s Reign of Terror, with a fleet of attack eagles cast as the 9-11 hijackers (whom the vast majority of Rump voters believe purposely enabled the September Eleventh Attacks in the first place!). The sorry History of W.'s Trumped-Up Iraq War (5,000-plus Brave Americans dead, along with a million Iraqis, not to mention $3 trillion American taxpayer dollars flushed down the toilet--resulting in ALL of Today's Domestic Ills--and a Broken World) will pale in comparison to the upcoming Rumpenstein Rule, WISE QUACKS indicates by picturing Porky joining in Daffy's collaborative debauchery with America's Enemies (such as Vladimir "Mad Dog" Putin, the cigarette-dangling, coin-flipping George Raft-like Russian mobster eagle welcoming Porky to the Drunken Orgy) as this cartoon concludes with Porky Rump about to tell the Attack Eagles which American cities--Los Angeles, Seattle, Las Vegas, Houston, New Orleans, Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, and Miami, for starters--they should nuke.
TheLittleSongbird I have always liked Daffy and Porky together, maybe Daffy is the stronger overall character but Porky works very well with him still. Wise Quacks is not one of their best, with a slow start, a somewhat routine story and while I loved a drunken Daffy trying to save one of his children from the eagle most of the gags are only mildly amusing than funny. The animation though is great, and the music as always adds so much to the humour and the pacing, it is beautifully and lively orchestrated. Some of the dialogue is fun, and both Daffy and Porky are great, Daffy especially. The eagle is also a good foil, and Daffy's children are cute. Mel Blanc's voice work is stellar. Overall, a decent but not great short. 7/10 Bethany Cox
Lee Eisenberg Daffy Duck is undeniably one of the funniest Looney Tunes, but apparently he's no family man. "Wise Quacks", "The Henpecked Duck" and "Stork Naked" show what happens when that lisping mallard attempts to have children. In this one, following the hatching of his children, Daffy goes off and gets drunk while a pernicious eagle steals one of the children (in the second one, he drops an egg that he's supposed to watch, and in the third one, he tries to stop the delivery of his child). What's with him?! Maybe I'm dwelling on a less than totally important point. This is far from the funniest Warner Bros. cartoon, but Daffy and Porky always make a great pair, and pretty much any Bob Clampett cartoon is guaranteed to have some neat gags; this one sure does. Worth seeing. Now available on Disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5.
ccthemovieman-1 Oh, brother, can you say corny? Oh, well, at least it was entertaining. This was a fast-moving adventure-type story with a drunken daffy trying save on is his newborn from a big eagle, and his friend Porky Pig being the real hero.The headline on the front page of the "Barnyard Bulletin" says "Flash - Mr. and Mrs. Daffy Duck Are Expecting A Blessed Event (isn't that ducky?)"Porky reads this announcement, goes to check out his pal Daffy and congratulate him and the adventure starts. Most of the humor isn't really much but the story is good and keeps your total attention all the way. It's the mixture of drama, suspense, actor and humor that make this one - even though it isn't that funny - you will give 100 percent of your attention.
