Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur

Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur is a 1939 Merrie Melodies animated cartoon short supervised by Chuck Jones and produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions for Warner Bros. Pictures. The cartoon is notably the first Daffy Duck cartoon supervised by Jones. Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur is set in the Stone Age and features Daffy Duck, a caveman named Casper (a caricature of Jack Benny), and his pet Apatosaurus, Fido. As usual, Mel Blanc provides the voice of Daffy here, while Casper is performed by Jack Lescoulie. This is the last cartoon with the Vitaphone intro, which was first used in The Phantom Ship in 1936. The film is in the public domain and is available on several low-budget home video releases in an unrestored form. A restored and remastered version is available on DVD as part of Disc 4 in Volume 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection.
