It's how Tashlin tells this story that makes it so memorable.' Production cartoons that pit characters against each other. Porky Pig's Feat is fairly standard from a story standpoint, typical of Warner Bros. Tashlin's direction is so flamboyant that it is as entertaining to watch as the characters. His characters were often posed in 'extreme' (exaggerated) positions, and these poses were held far longer than other directors would dare. He chose unusual camera angles and was never afraid to cut shots quickly for humorous effect. He says, 'Ahh, don't work, do they?'Īnimator Mark Mayerson writes, 'Frank Tashlin had a very personal style of cartoon direction. Daffy replies 'Yes' each time and adds, 'We tried all those ways.' The door to the next room opens and Bugs is seen in shackles. Once on the phone, Bugs asks Daffy if they have tried the various methods of escape which they did indeed try. Porky (who has written 'Porky Loves Petunia' on the wall, and is keeping track of their incarceration with prison-style graffiti) says, 'Gosh, if Bugs Bunny was only here.' Daffy concurs and decides to call Bugs for advice, as the trickster is famous for being able to get out of seemingly inescapable situations. Winter arrives and Daffy is beginning to lose his sanity. The cartoon centers around Porky Pig and Daffy Duck's attempts to escape the Broken Arms Hotel manager without paying their bill (on which they are charged for every luxury, including breathing air, sunshine, and goodwill) they are trying to evade payment because Daffy lost all their money playing craps.ĭespite numerous methods to elude the hotel manager (using the elevator, throwing the manager down a large spiral staircase, knotting sheets and rappelling from a window, swinging from a window to a building across the street), he gets the upper hand every time and eventually locks them in a room, in shackles, where they will stay until they pay up.
