HAPPY DUCKRABBIT ANNIVERSARY

On this day, in Looney Tunes history, Frank Tashlin returns to WB with his 1943 short starring Porky Pig and Daffy Duck, “Porky Pig’s Feat”. It is the first time Daffy meets Bugs Bunny officially. Today would be the 80th anniversary.

In honor to this short, let’s learn some facts about Frank Tashlin:

Tashlin directed a lot of Porky films back in the 30s and 40s and most of the Merrie Melodies from 1937-38. Porky was his less favorite character.

He would return to Warner Bros. in 1942 using Bob Clampett's and Norman McCabe's old unit, directing the last set of black-and-white Looney Tunes cartoons.

His last cartoon was "Hare Remover", for which he was uncredited in the short, as he left Warner Bros in 1944 to direct live-action films; his unit was eventually taken over by Robert McKimson.

Tex Avery was a big inspiration for his shorts.

Tashlin worked on camera moves and editing more than any of his peers, using unexpected pans and quick cuts to enhance a gag.

He developed theories of animation design he called “SCOT Art,” which reduced the basic shape of characters to squares, circles, ovals, and triangles.

He is the most daring in using ‘adult jokes’.

He created Petunia Pig.

Let’s see his take on Daffy and Bugs.

Tashlin’s Daffy is a warrior, as always, still having his bad luck on him but facing it like a champ, someone who incites trouble and faces the consequences with no complaint. He is smart, but he uses more muscles than brains.

“I’m a woman hater!” – Plane Daffy

“Now look at me! A has-been! A henpecked duck! A Kansas-back cassanova! And it's your fault!” – The Stupid Cupid

Tahslin doesn’t have a lot of cartoons for Bugs, but he does a good job in his characterization when he does. Even trying to maintain Avery’s quick movements, Bugs’ response to people bothering him, his elegance, smartness, playfuness, feminity and cuteness remain.
