Yay or Nay: Muchos Locos?

[Marty26]

:rolleyes: Another Hit or Miss Poll. I don't think one more would hurt, right?

I voted "Yay" (which, as you know, is the equivalent of "Hit"). The ending, where Daffy was finally pushed to his limit with Speedy's constant portrayal of him as stupid, was certainly refreshing and they DID use good clips (even if it was all just reanimated and rescored footage). Too bad the story was a little dumb.

Daffy & Speedy cartoons....ugh.

Every cheater cartoon is a nay. The only positive about this is finally Daffy won against Speedy... but it's still nay.

I think the only well-done Speedy/Daffy shorts are Daffy rents and Quacker tracker.

I say YAY! Who cares about petty details that make this cartoon bad on paper. Daffy CRUSHED Speedy with a mallet finally!

I say "Nay" because I don't understand why scenes from older cartoons were re-animated. Why didn't DFE just insert film clips of the older WB cartoons instead of re-animating the scenes (and thereby cheapening them by using a smaller budget to remake each scene)? Also, the "Dragon Lady" sounds as if her voice was spliced together when she asks, "Is answer question?"

The reanimated scenes make this cheater (if the definition still applies) especially strange. So, we're watching Daffy and Speedy's best moments...only seen through a muddy-colored, low-budget filter? It would be like watching a sitcom episode that recalls scenes from past episodes that were re-acted and reshot as opposed to merely edited in.

What's interesting about "Mucho Locos" is it was the third and final cartoon by the DFE studio to liberally reuse animation from Chuck Jones films, and in each case the results were so visually odd. The styles just clash too much. And it even looks like there was an attempt to "tone" down the fluidity of the Jones animation to better fit the DFE style. They're very weird, but fascinating, experiments.

Actually, I think A Haunting We Will Go was released after Muchos Locos. That cartoon reused footage from Duck Amuck and Broomstick Bunny (yeah, an unlikely combination).

What were the other cartoons that reused such footage anyway?

Fascinating like a train wreck.
