How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A hyperkinetic seven-minute cartoon where Daffy Duck pitches an increasingly elaborate swashbuckler script to a studio executive, with the duck performing every role in gleeful, chaotic fashion. It's a love letter to old adventure tropes filtered through pure cartoonish mayhem.
