Production notes

Warner Bros. animator Phil Monroe's lone directorial effort for a classic WB theatrical cartoon. He would later on direct The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979, with Chuck Jones), Friz Freleng's The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie (1981) and Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island (1983).

The last cartoon to pit Bugs Bunny with Daffy Duck.

Bugs does not say "What's up, Doc" in this cartoon.

The Iceman Ducketh

DoodleMarch 20, 2004

This one is different from the usual Bugs Vs. Daffy, as Daffy Duck effectively takes over the role of Elmer Fudd, hence a more nasty and raging duck, one that would become familiar in the Speedy and Daffy shorts. This cartoon isn't bad at all, considering budgets were now pretty low at WB towers. Just Daffy being meaner than normal lowers this from a potential 5 stars.
