Watch Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century For Free

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

One of the all-time greats. Chuck Jones' brilliant parody of Buck Rogers with Daffy Duck as the title character who, along with his sidekick "Eager Young Space Cadet" Porky, tries to stake a claim on Planet X in the name of Earth and finds Marvin the Martian attempting to do the same for Mars. Being a fan of Daffy, a fan of Chuck Jones, and a fan of old school sci-fi, this one is a real treat for me. It's been one of my favorite Looney Tunes cartoons since childhood. Even now, after I've seen literally hundreds of Looney Tunes shorts since I first saw this one, it still ranks in my top ten. The animation is excellent with creative little bits of business all around. Pay attention to the details in this one. Beautiful colors and backgrounds. Exciting music from Carl Stalling. Flawless voice work from the legendary Mel Blanc. It's one of the best shorts Chuck Jones ever made and probably his second best Daffy short behind Duck Amuck. The writing is fresh and clever, the gags are funny, and the animation is top notch. I don't have a single bad thing to say about this classic.

This short film is outstanding. From the very beginning until the end its filed with silly scifi jokes and amazing hand-drawn animation. Its to bad they don't show shorts like this before movies nowadays. Pixar and Disneys new cgi shorts like Paperman and La luna are good but will never come close to this masterpiece.Now that i got my mini rant on cgi out of the way...This short is about Duck Dodgers (Daffy duck) fighting for control of planet X which Marvin the martian is also after. This leads to loads of grade A humor and jaw dropping animated scenes featuring strange SciFi technology.After sixty years this film is still huge. Being a favorite of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.Go check it out if you are a fan of animation or scifi you wont be sorry.

Sometime in the 2300s, Earth has run out of illidium phosdex, used to make shaving cream, so the government sends Duck Dodgers (Daffy Duck) and his cadet (Porky Pig) to get some from Planet X (to get there, Duck Dodgers suggests that they do a nonsensical zigzag, but his cadet says that they should just follow Planets A, B, C, etc.). Unfortunately for Duck Dodgers and his cadet (but fortunately for the audience), Marvin the Martian is also trying to claim the planet. After that, the rest of the cartoon consists of Daffy and Marvin trying to destroy each other with progressively wackier and wackier weapons (which was probably an allusion to the arms buildup in the Cold War)."Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century" is mostly Daffy and Porky doing their usual crazy stuff, with some great one-liners: "Whoops. Had the silly thing in reverse." and "This planet ain't big enough for the two of us!" This is what classic cartoons are all about!

Easily one of Chuck Jones and WB's top five best cartoons, "Duck Dodgers" is still hilarious and inventive after 50 years. Daffy Duck, always fun to watch, and his companion Porky have to travel to Planet X to discover a precious atom. They have to compete with the Marvin the Martian for the discovery of the atom and the planet. I have to agree with the below user-comment that the opening scenes are breathtakingly surreal and mind-blowing. The cartoon is best appreciated if you seen the other Looney Tunes starring Daffy Duck and Porky. A classic.
