Review of Daffy Duck's Quackbusters (1988) by Tristan P — 19 May 2010

DAFFY DUCK'S QUACKBUSTERS bears the distinction of both being the last of the LOONEY TUNES compilated features, as well as one of Mel Blanc's final projects (others would be WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT and the JETSONS movie).

There's a bit more meat to the "new material" this time around, as it does feel like a genuine, fleshed-out plot instead of being somewhat strung together. The focal point of the plot is greedy, self-centered Daffy forced to perform good deeds in order to prevent losing money to a ghostly benefactor; he does this by opening a "Ghostbusters" like shop and hiring (well, misusing) the services of Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig.

Adding to the intensity of the plot are the nailbitingly funny (and sometimes spooky) shorts, which naturally involve classic monsters such as Dracula, Frankenstein, the Exorcist, and several others to name.
