Bah, Humduck!: A Looney Tunes Christmas

Bah, Humduck!: A Looney Tunes Christmas is a 2006 animated direct-to-video film. It is the second Looney Tunes retelling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, the first being the 1979 short Bugs Bunny’s Christmas Carol from the TV special Bugs Bunny’s Looney Christmas Tales.

Summary
Daffy Duck (in an Ebenezer Scrooge-like role), the greedy and selfish owner of the Lucky Duck superstore, mistreats his employees, especially Porky Pig (in the role of Bob Cratchit) and hates the holidays. Bugs Bunny warns Daffy that bad things happen to people who hate Christmas, and especially bad ones get visited by three ghosts. Daffy scoffs at this notion, but little does he realize that’s he’s in for a Christmas surprise.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The way A Christmas Carol is retold is amazing. While the film is a modernized parody of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, the film manages to remain faithful to the original Charles Dickens story (even more so than the Bugs Bunny’s Christmas Carol segment from the 1979 TV special Bugs Bunny’s Looney Christmas Tales) while also staying true to the classic Looney Tunes cartoons the film is based on.
 * 2) Great animation, even for 2006 direct-to-video standards.
 * 3) The voice acting is (mostly) spot-on.
 * 4) Clever gags, such as Priscilla finishing her father Porky’s “That’s all, folks!” line.
 * 5) Lovable characters.
 * 6) Its moral is unforgettable, just like in the original story.
 * 7) Some emotional moments, like Priscilla telling Daffy that she never hated him, reducing Daffy to tears.
 * 8) Superb soundtrack and music score by Gordon Goodwin.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Billy West’s version of his Bugs voice is still not great (depending on your view).
 * 2) *Likewise, Bob Bergen’s version of Speedy is not very good, as it’s literally his Porky Pig voice, but with a Mexican accent instead of a stutter.
 * 3) While the animation is great for a direct-to-video effort, a few of the characters are drawn off-model, such as Gossamer.
 * 4) The pathos do seem forced, as many of them aren’t executed well.
 * 5) Daffy does seem miscast as the role of Scrooge, as Yosemite Sam would already better befit the role. Granted, Daffy's second personality of being egotistical and money hungry is the intention, but still.
