Porky's Duck Hunt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Porky's Duck Hunt is an animated short film produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, directed by Tex Avery, and released on April 17, 1937 by Warner Bros. Pictures. This short, starring Porky Pig, is notable for being the first appearance of the character who would later be named Daffy Duck. Also notable is that this is the first cartoon in which Mel Blanc voices both Porky and Daffy. Blanc won the part of Porky earlier that year. Joe Dougherty who was Porky's original voice, was fired following the cartoon Porky's Romance because he couldn't control his stutter. It also features the second performance of the song The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down, later sung by Daffy in the cartoon Daffy Duck and Egghead, but done in this one with a more complete set of lyrics.
