Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). Funny. I'm much more familiar with the Daffy of the 50s than I am with the early screwball Daffy, and I like this version of him quite a bit (although a glance at his Wikipedia page tells me that this particular cartoon is probably very derivative - which I'm finding is often the case with Friz Freleng cartoons). It's nice to be able to root for a loony.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.6/4 (Good)
