Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court
Release date: 1978-02-23
Plot: Bugs, while digging a hole, ends up in medieval Britain and is mistaken for a "dwagon" by Sir Elmer of Fudde. He encounters King Arthur, played by Daffy Duck, and Merlin, portrayed by Yosemite Sam. The story follows Bugs's adventures as he navigates knights, magic, and courtly intrigue, using his wits to face challenges and find his way back to his own time.
Name and role: In this short, Daffy Duck takes on none other than the role of King Arthur himself. And for once, he's not scrambling for power: he's already got it. He spends most of the joust laughing his royal feathers off, clearly enjoying the rare moment of not being the butt of the joke. He's in such a chipper mood that, by the end, he willingly hands over the crown to Bugs, declaring, "Well, a duck King Arthur does sound ridiculous" (unlike a rabbit, of course. perfectly normal medieval monarchy material).
Trivia and other appearances: Wanna see Daffy in more King Arthur-themed shenanigans? While he pops up in a few medieval-ish cartoons, the only one that really keeps the Arthurian thread is "Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies" (1972): a bizarre crossover where the vibes are more psychedelic than Pendragon.

Daffy Duck's Easter Egg-citement
Release date: 1980-04-01
Plot: Daffy Duck is the host of this special, which is split into three original animated segments, sprinkled between sequences where Daffy interacts with the animator and a handful of other Looney guest stars. Not exactly a masterpiece... but hey, it aired on April Fools' Day. What were you expecting, Citizen Kane?
Name and role: As usual, Daffy can't help but butt heads with whoever's holding the pencil. The animator delights in humiliating him, including forcing him to wear a hideous giant chick costume that makes him look like a rejected Easter mascot.
Trivia and other appearances: This special marks the second time Daffy goes to war with his own animator, the first, of course, being the iconic 1953 short Duck Amuck

Name and role: Daffy in the middle of the short, resorts to riding a horse. Unfortunately, the horse wants no part of it and throws him off repeatedly, leading to a series of slapstick gags.

The Yolks on You
Release date: 1980-04-01
Plot: Foghorn Leghorn tasks Miss Prissy with laying colorful Easter eggs. However, instead of a pastel surprise, she lays a golden egg and immediately tries to hide it. The shimmering treasure soon falls into the hands of Daffy Duck and Sylvester, who enter a frantic, slapstick rivalry to claim it for themselves.
Name and role: The egg rolls out of the henhouse and lands in Daffy's hands, who immediately claims it with dreams of getting rich. But of course, Sylvester spots it too and decides he wants in on the golden prize. What follows is a full-blown showdown of trickery, traps, and well-placed mallets: the two steal the egg from each other, guard it, hide it, throw it, and fiercely defend it... doing absolutely everything except working together.
Trivia and other appearances: The two actually share only a small handful of collaborations in Looney Tunes shorts, just two, to be precise: The Scarlet Pumpernickel (1950), and A Taste of Catnip (1966). Their paths rarely cross, making any Daffy-Sylvester pairing a real collector's item in the Looney canon.

The Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie
Release date: 1981-11-20
Plot: An anthology film hosted by Bugs Bunny, featuring a spoof of the Oscars called the Oswald Awards. It presents three segments built around classic cartoons, with new animation linking the stories.

Daffy Duck's Thanks-for-Giving Special
Release date: 1981-11-24
Plot: In this TV special, Daffy Duck tries to rename Thanksgiving as "Thanks-For-Giving Day," a celebration of his own contributions to comedy. Hoping to star in a new movie, he pitches the idea to Warner Bros. executive J.L. by showing clips from past classics like Robin Hood Daffy, Drip-Along Daffy, and His Bitter Half. Though skeptical at first, J.L. agrees to screen Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24 1/2th Century only to suggest a remake afterward, much to Daffy's outrage.
Name and role: Daffy is the undisputed star of the special. With his trademark ego and relentless drive, he sets out to prove his artistic worth and cement his place in animation history. By showcasing classic shorts and pitching a new film, Daffy highlights his versatility and hunger for recognition as a true star.
Trivia and other appearances: Thanksgiving-themed Daffy shorts? Absolutely! Check out Holiday for Drumsticks (1949) and Tom Turk and Daffy (1944). But it's worth noting: watching this special is the only way to see the full version of Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24 1/2th Century, which was later trimmed down for TV.

Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales
Release date: 1982-11-19
Plot: Daffy and Bugs end up in the palace of Sultan Yosemite Sam, who forces them to tell stories to his spoiled son, Prince Abba-Dabba. In a desperate attempt to save their skins, Bugs begins spinning a series of fairy tales, which are, in reality, classic Looney Tunes shorts cleverly tied together with newly animated sequences.

Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island
Release date: 1983-08-05
Plot: Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales, stranded on a deserted island, stumble upon a treasure map that leads them to a talking wishing well. Ever the greedy opportunist, Daffy decides to turn the island into a tourist resort, selling wishes to eager visitors. The guests' wishes are granted through the projection of classic Looney Tunes shorts, cleverly woven into the plot. Meanwhile, pirate Yosemite Sam and his partner Taz are hot on their trail, determined to reclaim the map that once belonged to them.
Name and role: From the moment Daffy Duck wishes to open the island to the public, he steps right into a clear parody of the TV series Fantasy Island. His trademark white double-breasted jacket is a cartoonish nod to Mr. Roarke, the elegant and enigmatic host of the original show who made guests' wishes come true, often with a twist.
Trivia and other appearances: Daffy Duck, what can we say, he's everywhere in Looney Tunes history and even beyond. But it's worth pointing out that this is actually the first Looney Tunes anthology film to center around Daffy Duck rather than Bugs Bunny.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Release date: 1988-06-22
Plot: Private detective Eddie Valiant, still haunted by the death of his brother at the hands of a toon, is hired to investigate the suspected infidelity of Jessica Rabbit, wife of the famous Roger Rabbit. When tycoon Marvin Acme turns up dead, Roger becomes the prime suspect. Eddie soon finds himself entangled in a conspiracy that unveils a dark plot to destroy Toontown and its animated residents.
Name and role: One of the most magical aspects of Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the historic collaboration between Disney and Warner Bros., which allowed iconic characters from both studios to share the screen. But this alliance didn't come without strict conditions: equal screen time and equal treatment. Disney and Warner agreed that their characters would appear for exactly the same amount of time and in no way be shown as inferior to one another. The second most famous example? Daffy and Donald Duck in dueling pianos, the best scene ever did, if you ask me.
Trivia and other appearances: It's never happened again, even in our current age of endless cinematic universes and crossover events. And that's precisely what preserves the singular magic of this film.

Trivia and other appearances: These cameos are peak vintage Warner Bros.: pure, distilled metanarrative. For an actual documentary experience though, go check out 100th Anniversary Looney Tunes Cartoons (2023, streaming on Max).

Back in Style
Release date: 1997-11-08
Plot: After the closure of Warner Bros. Animation in 1962, studio head Thaddeus Plotz fires all animated characters to various other animation studios to keep the company afloat. The Warners find themselves in parodies of different animation styles.
Name and role: Right at the beginning of the episode, we see a classic "walk of shame" scene where characters like Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and Bugs Bunny are shown carrying their personal belongings out of the studio right after being fired.
Trivia and other appearances: Warner Bros. often uses this kind of cameo to create a sense of cohesion between the various narrative universes of different series. It plays into the same idea popularized by Who Framed Roger Rabbit that cartoon characters are just actors working for the studios, clocking in and out like everyone else, only with a bit more boing and kaboom in their workday.

Star Warners
Release date: 1998-05-08
Plot: the final episode of Pinky and the Brain is a crossover with Animaniacs. The Animaniacs and other Warner Bros. characters parody Star Wars. Pinky and Brain plot to take over the galaxy with the "Mega Star" but are foiled by Wak Skylicker, Princess Dot, and the rest of the crew. The episode is a zany farewell filled with sci-fi gags and crossover chaos.
Name and role: The bar scene is the perfect setup for cameos, a glorious cocktail of chaos where a wild mix of characters and creatures gather for a drink like it's happy hour at the multiverse. Among the revelers, we spot none other than Zalgar, the brain-eating alien, sneakily measuring the skull of a almost completely naked Duck Dodgers. Clearly, Zalgar's standards have dropped or maybe he's just on a light, low-brain diet. Hey, even intergalactic brain munchers gotta watch their figure.
Trivia and other appearances: While Zalgar only ever appears in the Pinky & The Brain episode "Plan Brain from Outer Space", our spacefaring feathered narcissist Duck Dodgers isn't just a one-hit wonder from the classic shorts. He got his own entire series in 2003

The episode is a zany farewell filled with sci-fi gags and crossover chaos.
Name and role: The bar scene is the perfect setup for cameos, a glorious cocktail of chaos where a wild mix of characters and creatures gather for a drink like it's happy hour at the multiverse. Among the revelers, we spot none other than Zalgar, the brain-eating alien, sneakily measuring the skull of a almost completely naked Duck Dodgers. Clearly, Zalgar's standards have dropped or maybe he's just on a light, low-brain diet. Hey, even intergalactic brain munchers gotta watch their figure.
Trivia and other appearances: While Zalgar only ever appears in the Pinky & The Brain episode "Plan Brain from Outer Space", our spacefaring feathered narcissist Duck Dodgers isn't just a one-hit wonder from the classic shorts. He got his own entire series in 2003
My Best Friend's Wedding
Release date: 1998-05-13
Plot: Kate O'Brien is engaged to Oswald Lee Harvey. However, as the wedding approaches, Kate realizes she no longer loves Oswald and wants to call off the wedding. Complicating matters, Oswald moves up the wedding date, making it more urgent for Kate to find a way to break the news to him. Meanwhile, Lewis Kiniski forces Oswald and Drew Carey to reconcile after a falling out.
Name and role: What does Daffy Duck have to do with this plot, or with The Drew Carey Show? Absolutely nothing! Except for the opening sequence, where Daffy, looking for a job, barges into Drew's office and causes his usual brand of chaos. A unique and wonderful live-action/animation cameo.
Trivia and other appearances: No other Looney Tune has ever appeared in a TV series as themselves, making this a one-of-a-kind gem.
