You Were Never Duckier

You Were Never Duckier is a 1948 animated cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series from 1948. Starring Daffy Duck and Henery Hawk, this cartoon marked the start of a direction change for Daffy Duck, from a "screwball" character, to a greedy, self-centered one (though, according to commentary by Eric Goldberg on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD fifth volume, this cartoon showed Daffy as being both a greedy, self-centered character and a screwball one). Directed by Charles M. Jones. Produced by Edward Selzer (uncredited). Story by Tedd Pierce. Dialogue Henery Hawk: Hey, Pa, look at what I brung ya! Look at what I brung ya! A chicken! Daffy Duck: And what a chicken, brother! Get a load of this gorgeous plumage. Feast your eyes at this outstanding comb. And besides, I'm the only five-gaited rooster in the world. So, why not save yourself the trouble and judge me right now, judge... Uh, judge... what was the name? George K. Chickenhawk: Chickenhawk. George K. Chickenhawk. Daffy Duck: Chickenhawk? Chicken hawk, eats us chickens. Well, I gotta go. I think my judge is burning, fudge... My fudge is burning, judge... I mean, my mother wants me. I got to crochet a cake. Uh, uh, goodbye! Voice cast Mel Blanc as Daffy Duck / Rooster / George K. Chickenhawk / Contest Moderator. Don Messick as Henery Hawk.
