Cracked Quack is a 1952 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng.[1] The cartoon was released on July 5, 1952, and stars Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.[2]

Plot

Daffy Duck, fatigued and disoriented from a failed migration attempt, seeks refuge in a mansion belonging to Porky Pig. Mistaking a stuffed duck for a living companion, Daffy imposes himself in the residence, encountering resistance from Porky's vigilant dog, Rover.

Through various antics and misinterpretations, Daffy's ruse is intermittently challenged, culminating in a confrontation where Porky, oblivious to Daffy's true nature, mistakenly assumes him to be a lifeless prop.

Eventually, a serendipitous encounter with a flock of fellow ducks leads to an unexpected turn of events, leaving Porky's home overrun by avian revelry.

Cast

  • Mel Blanc as Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Duck, Fly, and Rover
