You Were Never Duckier
1948 film by Chuck Jones
You Were Never Duckier is an 1948 animated cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series from 1948. Starring Daffy Duck and Henery Hawk, this cartoon marked the start of a direction change for Daffy Duck, from a "screwball" character, to a greedy, self-centered one (though, according to commentary by Eric Goldberg on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD fifth volume, this cartoon showed Daffy as being both a greedy, self-centered character and a screwball one).
- Directed by Charles M. Jones. Produced by Edward Selzer. Story by Tedd Pierce.
