The Ducksters is probably Chuck Jones' most outrageous cartoon, 5 January 2008
9/10
Author: tavm from Baton Rouge, La.

This is perhaps one of the most violent of the Warner Bros. cartoons, certainly of Chuck Jones who initially made sweet Disney-like shorts. Porky Pig is a contestant on a radio quiz show hosted by Daffy Duck who keeps torturing the pig with boulders, a mallet, waters from "Niagra Falls", and a circular saw whenever Porky gets an answer wrong or takes too long (like, maybe, 2 seconds) before replying. Whenever he does get an answer right, the duck just stares into space. After Porky does eventually get the money, the tables get turned. The constant calamities are pretty hilarious and just as things get too much for the pig, he gets wise. Not recommended for children especially for what threatens Daffy at the end.
