MONSTER MASHUPS #54

 "Night of the Living Duck," an original 1988 cartoon short, was designed to be played in theaters with the compilation film DAFFY DUCK'S QUACKBUSTERS. The idea is that Daffy, an avid "monster kid," bonks himself on the head and dreams that he's singing (with Mel Torme's voice) for a club full of monstrous patrons. Most of the customers are familiar (but unnamed) faces except for a Godzilla parody, "Smogzilla."

That spoof-name pretty much captures the short's level of lame humor. Nice animation, and one of Mel Blanc's final voice-jobs, are the only attractions to this unfunny trifle.
