- Quotes
Bugs Bunny: [as Daffy levels his rifle at Bugs] Er, uh, do I understand that you bear some sort of antipathy toward me?
Daffy Duck: [determined] Antipathy, nothin'! I'm after that fur coat!
[Daffy feels Bugs' fur]
Daffy Duck: [impressed] Say, that's the softest pelt I've ever felt!
Bugs Bunny: Do you really like it? I get all my suits from the same tailor as the Duke of Windsor. I always get a good fit from him.
Daffy Duck: [levels his gun at Bugs again] Never mind the sales pitch! Just skin the rabbit!
Bugs Bunny: [pushing Daffy's gun away from him] Eh, give me a sporting chance, doc.
Daffy Duck: [angry] Stop fiddling with my rifle! I want to shoot you where it won't show!

This short is just not very good at all. In fact, it is a contender for the worst Bugs Bunny short of the original series. The animation is just so stiff and lifeless. You could tell that they had budget problems and the visuals look bland at best. Bugs and Daffy just look too basic and robotic. The human designs are just flat out ugly to look at. There just isn't a lot of that energy most Looney Tunes shorts have. Bugs and Daffy are both unlikable. Bugs is just too cocky here and borderline mean-spirited in this short for me to root for him. Daffy on the other hand wants to kill Bugs over his fur. Really? One, he could have shot one of the bears that would give him more fur. Two, Daffy hunting is just completely out of character for him and not in a good way. He is just as mean-spirited as Bugs and feels like this short was made by someone who hated Daffy. It's really bad when you end up rooting for the bear to maul both of them. As far as the jokes go, some of them gave me a chuckle, but there was nothing funny in this short that you wouldn't have seen in better Bugs vs hunter shorts. The gags are very repetitive and predictable. Also, it is a bit shorter than the other shorts, but that might be a good thing. Mel Blanc's voice work is the one thing that this short has going for it. He did a great job as he always does with the characters.
The Iceman Ducketh is such a weak short. It just reeks of mediocrity, especially when you compare it with other shorts. Bugs and Daffy both deserve better than this. It's not that it's unwatchable, which it's not, but it is just not worth it. Anything this short does, nearly every other Bugs Bunny and/or Daffy Duck short does a million times better. There no real reason to watch this, unless you really want to see why the 60's was not the best decade for Looney Tunes.
