The Night of the Living Duck

The Night of the Living Duck is a six-minute 1988 Merrie Melodies cartoon starring Daffy Duck, directed by Greg Ford and Terry Lennon. It was released to theatres as a part of Daffy Duck's Quackbusters on September 24, 1988 and precedes the film in all subsequent releases, including in TV broadcasts and home media. The title is a pun on Night of the Living Dead, although the cartoon has nothing to do with said film's theme of a zombie apocalypse. This short was also one of Mel Blanc's final performances, as it was released less than a year before his death. The short was shown on the opening day of the 1988 New York Film Festival before Pedro Almodovar's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.
