Daffy Duck Hunt is a 1949 animated Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by Robert McKimson, and starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. Porky is a hunter looking to shoot a duck, and Daffy has too much fun in letting Porky try and capture him for dinner.
Plot
Porky and his dog (who resembles the Barnyard Dawg from the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons) are hunting ducks. Daffy sneaks up behind them and empties the gunpowder from their shells, then walks off with the phrase "Duck hunters is the cwaziest peoples!" (a reference to Lew Lehr's Fox Movietone News catchphrase, "Monkeys is the cwaziest people."). When Porky takes aim at Daffy, Daffy is able to continue taunting him, even dancing as a can-can dancer with a bullseye on his rear end - to no ill effect. Porky sends his dog to get Daffy, and the dog decides to trick Daffy, crying loudly that Porky will torture him if he doesn't come back with a duck. Daffy agrees to let the dog 'capture' him and carry him back to Porky.
Once they get back to Porky's house, Porky throws Daffy in the deep freeze and goes upstairs for a nap. Once out of sight, Daffy starts knocking on the freezer door to be let out. After a brief fight between his good and bad conscience, the dog lets Daffy out of the freezer. Daffy tries to leave the house, but is blocked by the dog. After making a bunch of noise, Daffy jumps into the dog's mouth just as Porky comes to see what all the noise is about. Porky beats the dog for trying to steal the duck for himself and throws Daffy back in the freezer. The dog now wants to get revenge against Daffy, but Daffy continues to act silly around him (dressed in heavy coats, screaming about needing to get medicine through "tons of ice! NO ESCAPE!", then deadpanning, "So, how have things been with you?"). The dog chases Daffy up to where Porky is napping, and after Daffy frames the dog for knocking Porky awake by knocking a vase over his head (with Porky referring to the dog as a Benedict Arnold), Daffy is thrown into the freezer once again.
Finally, the dog has had enough and grabs an axe to finish Daffy off. After a chase through the house, Porky comes in and threatens the dog if Daffy isn't in the freezer. Porky opens the freezer, but both are shocked when Daffy, dressed as Santa Claus, jumps out and starts singing Jingle Bells. Both Porky and the dog start singing along, until Porky sees that it's only April. Porky knocks Daffy down and is ready to use the axe until he sees a stamp on Daffy: "Do not open 'till Xmas." Daffy smiles at the camera and says, "Christmas - by then, I'll figure a way out of this mess!"
