The Henpecked Duck (1941)
The funniest Looney Tune from my childhood!
When I was a child, I quite frequently watched a tape containing four Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons. All were good except for one that I had to get my mother to turn off before the end because of my sensitive hearing. 'The Henpecked Duck,' however, which I believe was probably the first on the tape, was my favourite by far, and it was the one that I often wanted rewound to the beginning over and over again. In the present day, as soon as I finally found this video somewhere and watched it again (without sound, so I missed any dialogue), I remembered almost the entire Looney Tune perfectly just with the visual presentation of the animation. This is the cartoon that drove my sister, my father and my brother absolutely crazy, and this is the cartoon that I would have given an 11 out of 10 several years ago if I could have, and that here today I give a 10 out of 10 because it is still hysterically funny, even without sound.
A Coy Decoy (1941)
I watched this short several times when I was a little girl and was surprised to find out it had been banned!
When I was very young, my mother had a series of four Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts on tape and I watched them all several times. A Coy Decoy was one of these shorts, and I was truly shocked to read in another comment that it had been banned. When I was young I probably did not even understand the Black Beauty gag to begin with. Still this is probably why it was banned, though until I watched this on a video site, I did not even remember the gag. Upon viewing the video I did remember certain shots - in particular the shrinking of Daffy's hat and Daffy's eyes becoming clockworkish as the decoy circled him in The Lake. I was not bothered by the gag that was most likely the reason the gag was banned. Instead I was flooded with childhood memories of watching this short. Because of how much I liked this short as a child, I rate it 7 out of 10.
