REVIEW: Daffy Duck's Quackbusters [Blu-ray] from WARNER ARCHIVE
WARNER ARCHIVE delights with this classic animated feature film release on Blu-ray for the first time ever!
The Warner Archive Collection has been on a roll lately with their releasing of animated titles onto the BD format for the first time ever. Finally, we get the 1988 animated classic Daffy Duck's Quackbusters onto Blu-ray!
In this delightful, animated feature film, Daffy Duck opens up the ghostbusting Ghouls 'R' Us agency. "It's supply and demand," the spook sleuth explains. "My clients supply the ghosts, and I demand the money."
Highlights include Daffy "Anything for a Buck" Duck pitching his wares on TV, a house call to a vampy seductress, a ghost-to-ghost hookup with Zed Toppel on Frightline and talk about a tough crowd, crooner Daffy wowing a nightclub of Transylvanian baddies. Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Tweety and Sylvester join this exercise in hilarity, with principal voices provided by the always masterful Mel Blanc. The gang's all here-and so is the fun. You'll quack up over Daffy Duck's Quackbusters.
The film is on a BD-50 disc and contains a 5.1 DTS-HD master audio track.
There are two versions of the film included.
The first being the original feature film and then the matinee version.
The Matinee Version contains a short Looney Tunes cartoon that plays before the feature.
I absolutely adore the Matinee version because it takes me back to a time when animated shorts before the feature was the norm!
This HD transfer is immaculate with colors of the picture appearing very vibrant - giving Warner Archive yet another BD transfer to be proud of!
Also included is a 35MM transfer of the original theatrical trailer which still has the film look to it as if it was being played off a 35mm trailer.
The DTS-HD master audio track on this has incredible detail and a nice, balanced mix for dialogue, score and action sequences.
The disc is also loaded with a ton of bonus animated shorts as well.
This is the last Looney Tunes production to feature Mel Blanc before he passed away.
In fact, the film originally had its first physical media release in the form of a VHS that released just 9 days after Blanc passed away.
This is its first time ever the film has appeared on Blu-ray!

The film originally had its first physical media release in the form of a VHS - followed by DVD. This is its first time ever on Blu-ray!
I highly recommend for any true Looney Tunes or animation fans out there as it is on hysterical feature with fun slapstick comedy that we sadly don’t get as much anymore in current animation.
