Six months ago, (give or take an extra day.) I discussed &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wackyland2.com\/blog-1\/2022\/01\/09\/slightly-daffy\/\">Slightly Daffy<\/a>,&#8221; with the promise of not giving a plot synopsis for this original picture. So let&#8217;s get to those differences.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The remake skipped the first joke. But it might have been for the best. It&#8217;s weird to see an anti-dog sign, then show a dog on guard duty. (Does make S.D.&#8217;s beginning more abrupt than S.T.&#8217;s, though)<\/li>\n<li>In the original, when our guard asks if we&#8217;ve seen any &#8220;Indians&#8221; a crowd of approximately 24 of them say &#8220;no.&#8221; Much funnier than the remake&#8217;s only three saying &#8220;could be.&#8221; Makes our lookout look both dumb AND incompetent.<\/li>\n<li>We don&#8217;t even get to see a lineup of Daffy&#8217;s men in the remake. Not gutbustingly hilarious, but worth a chuckle.<\/li>\n<li>Okay, I do like Porky snoring out a tune in the remake, but I swear Daffy is much louder and excitable in the original. So it still gets the point.<\/li>\n<li>The native&#8217;s lookout is a bit less goofy looking originally. Doesn&#8217;t have a turkey on his head, a horse to ride, or a phone to alert his people, either. He uses a siren instead. Point to the new.<\/li>\n<li>Okay, so the original is lacking in the horse-riding gags it&#8217;s remake provides. But look at those terrifying off-model faces! The natives have beaks now?<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0 bugler&#8217;s ears don&#8217;t match his instrument in the remake. That&#8217;s not nearly as fun.<\/li>\n<li>Original gave us a couple of gags the remake doesn&#8217;t include. A soldier using the spitting gun gag, and a native using firewater to burn his way in. (By the way, we never see him taken care of.)<\/li>\n<li>Okay, gotta give credit to the new again. The soldier who shoots and tallies his shots says he got to nine, but he only marks six. When he&#8217;s knocked out, that&#8217;s when it get to the nine. The remake has his marks show up when he says.<\/li>\n<li>I may be wrong, but I think the original guy who say&#8217;s today&#8217;s quote has bigger eyes. Helping illustrate the Jerry Colona parody. Plus, we only see his shadow advance on Porky. Which helps in raising the tension.<\/li>\n<li>Another point goes to the original, with Porky shooting off most of a fellow&#8217;s torso, as opposed to just having four guys hiding behind rocks. Bodily harm is funnier than hiding.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Favorite Part: In the remake, Porky has nothing but a boring war-bonds sign over his bunk. The original has a photo of his uncle, who&#8217;s a football. (Which is all kind of messed up. And yes, I had similar opinions during Disney&#8217;s &#8220;Three Little Pigs&#8221;.) It also features a picture of Petunia! Making this the first time people got to see the redesign Clampett had her undergo. Plus, it&#8217;s just adorable that Porky thinks of his girl even whilst at war.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 3. And if you feel uncomfortable watching these kind of pictures, but feel like you must at least one of them, skip the remake. It&#8217;s not as good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s scalpitate!&#8221; Supervision by Robert Clampett; Animation by Norman McCabe; Story by Ernest Gee; Musical Direction by Carl W.
