Daffy's Rhapsody
Release date: 2012-02-10
Plot: On stage in a theater, Elmer Fudd buys a ticket for "Requiem for a Hunt: The Musical" only to discover the star is Daffy Duck, whose anti-hunting number "Daffy Duck's Rhapsody" turns into one long, musical complaint about being shot at. As Daffy sings and dances through cardboard sets and painted props, Elmer's hunter instincts kick in and he stalks him across the stage
Name and role: This short is the first full CGI / 3D outing for Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd, and it deliberately restores Daffy's old screwball persona: he's jittery, hyper, talking a mile a minute, ricocheting around the set while the song (a 1950s Mel Blanc Capitol recording) guides every gag. Elmer barely speaks; he's mostly pure hunter-id in a trench coat, creeping into scenes with a shotgun as Daffy keeps performing, half genuinely terrified, half milking the drama for the audience.
Trivia and other appearances: The soundtrack uses Mel Blanc's original 1950s recording of "Daffy Duck's Rhapsody" almost verbatim, with Christopher Lennertz building a new score and CGI staging around it; that makes this, insieme a I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat, one of the rare 2010s shorts where a brand-new 3D cartoon is led entirely by archival Blanc vocals.
