Friz Freling's Yankee Doodle Daffy is one of his best
5 January 2008
This Friz Freling short has the duck trying to impress talent scout Porky Pig with the music abilities of his client, a kid duck named Sleepy Lagoon who sucks on a lollipop throughout most of the short. Daffy sings and dances all over the place changing costumes behind a curtain as Porky keeps trying to leave for a plane to catch a business appointment. This is the "wacky Daffy" of the '30s and '40s that keeps on moving in flashes of lunacy no matter how people react to him. All musical bits are entertaining especially Daffy's Carmen Miranda number. The twist ending is a hoot, too. All in all, Yankee Doodle Daffy is one of Freling's best.
