Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Superior Duck" is an American 6.5-minute cartoon from 1996, so this one is already over 20 years old, and it falls into the time when Warner Bros' Looney Toons had a bit of a revival. There is no Bugs in here, but at the center of the story is Daffy in superhero costume who basically can do nothing but fly though. As a consequence he gets beaten up by Foghorn Leghorn, is in danger to get eaten by Vile E. Coyote and also constantly argues with the narrator's comments on his not so super status as a superhero. This film is quantity over quality though. The characters are all there, but the material is just too weak. I am a fan of the aforementioned Foghorn Leghorn, but with the exception of his comment on old vs. new he was really disappointing. Taz is another character I like, but his presence alone is not enough either, even if it's maybe better than the Martian's or Tweety's turns. All in all this film directed and also written for once by the legendary Chuck Jones may not be a failure, but it is a disappointment mostly as it lacks the charm of the better old WB works. Bit of a pity, but I have to give this one a thumbs-down. Not recommended as this is never close to being as funny as I wanted it to be.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . Wile E. Coyote's sign reads during SUPERIOR DUCK as he begins to chow down on Daffy. The Tazmanian Devil gets some licks in, too (which prompt him to become vegetarian). After being disintegrated by Marvin Martian, there's only enough Salt Water Daffy left to reconstitute him housefly size. Foghorn Leghorn had told Daffy that he'd be taken down to bullet stature, which apparently is tinier than the smallest speeding pullet. Speaking of wee, Tweety Bird calls Daffy the P-word here, which is pretty daring to place in front of the noun "duck," the latter term--of course--rhyming with the F-word. (Thick-headed viewers should try to repeat Tweety's sobriquet for Daffy out loud 10 times as fast as they can, and they'll hear the problem.) With Porky Pig, the Roadrunner, and even Superman himself making cameo appearances here, one half expects to hear from the Kitchen Sink. But that would be entering BEAUTY AND THE BEAST territory, and we all know that BEAUTY is strictly a Disney product.

newtype_1 I must be the only one who didn't like this. I saw this as part of Boomerang's Looney Tunes block and was excited at the prospect of a Chuck Jones I hadn't seen before. This very late cartoon from him though is full of painfully stale bits lifted from earlier cartoons.The plot is purportedly about Daffy as a superhero, but it quickly derails into "Duck Amuck" territory. It feels like a sloppy effort here, with pretty much every other Looney Toon other than Bugs making a gratuitous cameo.A never-before-seen Looney Tunes short is always something of a treat, but I was disappointed in this one. I still rate it a 4 out of 10 for even existing.

Ryan N To begin with it saddens me that Chuck Jones died before he got to create more great cartoons. This is a funny cartoon that involves Daffy Duck in a recurring time for the cartoon. The tape is a compilation of many Daffy Duck hits such as: Stupor Salesman, Golden Yeggs, Naked Stork, Design for Leaving, and Show Biz Bugs, but this new cartoon entitled "Superior Duck" is just as good as all the old ones. It's a bit random, which makes it funny. Some funny recurring jokes within the cartoon are all the "saying mistakes", such as "Superior Duck able to leap tall locomotives..." "Superior Duck, faster than a speeding building..." More things that make this a great film is all the akwardness and use of the "Looney Tune" characters. They are somehow able to fit all the "Looney Tune" characters when they are telling the "Description" of Superior Duck. All in all this is a good movie that deserves to be watched by cartoon lovers young and old. I highly recommend it.
