Most of Frank Tashlin's cartoons are hugely entertaining and clever, they deserve to be better known as does Tashlin as a director. And Daffy Duck is one of Looney Tunes/Warner Brothers' best characters. Plane Daffy is a classic for both. The animation is fluid and colourful, with expertly camera angles(always one of Tashlin's directorial strengths), and the music is both lively and catchy. The writing is fresh and fabulously witty, there is some brashness but also degrees of subtlety, and to call the gags hilarious is an understatement, very hard to pick a standout as they're all great in their own way. Plane Daffy is easily one of Tashlin's funniest, and with the sexual tension and the caricatures at the end one of his daring too, managing to do that without offending. The story is not exceptional from a premise point of view, but the breakneck pace, the fantastic humour and managing to not be afraid of being ahead of its time makes that not matter at all. Daffy is on top form, the femme fatale character is both beautiful and dangerous and the voice work from Mel Blanc et al is spot on. Overall, a classic. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Slightly boring. A rare thing to find in a Daffy Duck cartoon, due to the narration of this cartoon. I don't like hearing a story be read out to me slowly and painfully. Although, everything else was just wonderful and funny.A man spills out all the secrets he know about the army to a natzi and then shoots himself in shame. Wow, real appropriate for a children's cartoon. That's sarcasm. Any who Daffy Duck the women-hater comes to the scene, but he soon falls into the woman's trap. But then he runs away swallowing the secret. A projector tricks the woman thinking she is looking at his note with an x-ray and that the note says "Hitler is a Stinker." Hitler and two other natzis see it and say, "That's not a secret. Everyone already knows that." Hitler gets outraged so they shoot themself. Horrible.I don't really recommend this to anyone do to the lack of censorship and patriotic propaganda.

While most of the WWII-era cartoons from Warner Bros. had the characters kicking Nazi butt head on - or at least contributing to the war effort back home - "Plane Daffy" takes a different approach. After several pigeons get seduced by female Nazi spy Hatta Mari and divulge national secrets, the army hires none other than the looniest of all ducks to deliver the secret. But when Daffy meets the woman, it's up to him.Obviously, when there's the risk that someone's trying to attack you, you wonder whom you can trust, or who might be a spy. Needless to say, they make it as funny as possible here. The truth is, I might have gotten tempted to spill the beans to a babe like that woman! But anyway, it's a really funny cartoon.Yeah, that's not a secret at all.

A WWII classic. All of the Carrier Pigeons have met their dooms after meeting Hatta Mari, a sexy enemy spy. Enter Daffy Duck, woman hater, who goes out to deliver a secret document. After a zany chase around Hatta's house, Daffy is cornered and swallows the paper. He is then straped to an X-Ray and Marri shows the message to Hitler and his henchmen: "Hitler is a Stinker". Hitler: "Hitler is a Shtinker?! That's no military secret!" Henchmen: "Yah everybody knows dat!" After the two shoot themselves, Daffy replies: "They lose more darn Nutzis that way!"
