Wise Quackers is a 1949 Warner Bros.Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.[1] The cartoon was released on January 1, 1949, and stars Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd.[2]
The short should not be confused with the 1939 Bob Clampett short Wise Quacks.
The film's plot centers around Daffy Duck (voiced by Mel Blanc) being Elmer Fudd's (voiced by Arthur Q. Bryan) slave so as not to be killed and eaten by Elmer.
Production notes[edit]
The film makes several references to African-American slaves for comedic effect, and has Daffy uttering the line 'Tote dat barge! Lift dat bale!' from the song Ol' Man River. Warner Bros' films dropped the use of racist caricatures at the end of the 40s; this is the last Daffy Duck cartoon to include stereotyped imagery of Black people.[3]
