Yankee Doodle Daffy (1943)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Middle ground Looney Tunes short has agent Porky Pig getting ready to leave on vacation when Daffy Duck busts in with his nephew Sleepy LaGoof. Daffy goes into a wild rant trying to get Porky to give the little one an audition but it appears Daffy is more the performer. This has never been one of my favorite shorts in the series but it does have one thing going for it and that's the insane Daffy. Seeing the out of control Daffy is the main reason to sit through this 7-minute short that doesn't have too many laughs but the duck is the star. As far as the laughs go I really can't recall any but that doesn't totally kill the movie thanks again to Daffy. I thought Porky was pretty much wasted in his part but Sleepy does end up getting the best moment at the very end of the film.
