One cartoon I remember watching several times when I was little was Chuck
Jones's Duck Dodgers in the 24th1/2 Century. I hadn't seen it in
a while, but I was able to recall several little details when I saw it in
class, and again earlier today.
For me watching these cartoons again after many years is about remembering
those little details-the giant eye in the beginning of the film, the
disintegration pistol, navigating to planet "X." The navigation scene has a
classic facial expression from Daffy at the end. Those are still all my
favorite parts of the cartoon, but I picked up on some new stuff-the story
around the voyage to the planet is hilarious nonsense, and I was able to read
the ultimatum bullets. Last time I saw them I could only read "OUCH!"(I was
really young). At least I was able to respond to Daffy getting his face blown
up. Daffy and Porky are a classic team, and they're hard to compare to any
other classic looney Tunes duo, you can't pick Daffy and Bugs because their
relationship is too different. Porky is kind of like the "straight man" and
Daffy is just crazy. I can't think of a single moment I didn't enjoy watching
this, my only problem is it seems to run short.
