Page "Duck Amuck" Paragraph 9

According to director Chuck Jones, this film demonstrated for the first time that animation can create characters with a recognizable personality, independent of their appearance, milieu, or voice.

Although in the end, the animator is revealed to be Daffy's rival Bugs Bunny ( who famously declares " Ain't I a stinker?

"), according to Jones the ending is just for comedic value: Jones ( the director ) is speaking to the audience directly, asking " Who is Daffy Duck anyway?

Would you recognize him if I did this to him?

What if he didn't live in the woods?

Didn't live anywhere?

What if he had no voice?

No face?

What if he wasn't even a duck anymore?

" In all cases, it is obvious that Daffy is still Daffy ; not all cartoon characters can claim such distinctive personality.
