Pretty well done for its type. However, most Warnologists (those who specialize in showing how the Looney Tunes beat BOTH Nostradamus and Astrology when it comes to predicting the Future for 21st Century America) zoom in on the fact that between 2:04 and 2:05 of this animated short, a close-up of a horse's behind (obviously meant to foretell Putin's Puppet, Rump) transforms into Hitler's head! Scrap Happy Daffy About During World War Two, Daffy Duck owns a junkyard which collects scrap metal to use in building weapons to continue the Allied fight against the Axis powers. A great piece of war propaganda, and really funny too. Hitler reads that Daffy claims it will do the same to Hitler. 0 out of 0 found this helpful. Singing With the word out, a Nazi submarine sends a missile to the scrap pile - which has a billy goat inside, who immediately starts eating everything in sight. Americans were asked to do their part by saving up and donating anything metal. 0 out of 1 found this helpful. However, when Daffy sees the swastika that the goat (whom he derides as a "tin termite") is wearing, he starts messing with the goat. Daffy wakes up, thinking it was all just a dream - until he looks up at the Nazi submarine sitting on top of the scrap pile, where the Nazis tell Daffy, "Next time you dream, include us out!" Daffy is in charge of the scrap metal collection, and has a mountain of tin and iron and copper and the rest (from a distance it looks like the Statue of Liberty). Watched Apr 10, 2020.

There is also some UPA-like stylized animation of Daffy's ancestors in one scene.
One of the many WW2 looney tunes that don't air on TV. 7 out of 8 found this helpful. Branson Reese’s review published on Letterboxd: Tashlin’s sort of a blind spot for me, I can admit that.
The torpedo contains a secret weapon - a goat! Their is plenty of items you can donate to help the troops, and Daffy is happy to list them all! Temporarily getting the better of the goat, Daffy is almost undone when he tries to whack the goat with a mallet - but the mallet gets stuck in the goat's horns and the goat knocks Daffy around.

"Scrap Happy Daffy" is a fine Daffy Duck cartoon that was meant to build confidence and bolster the spirit of winning the fight for all American servicemen during World War II. This was a humorous way to remind people on the homefront to help pitch in the war effort and recycle their junk. Directed by Frank Tashlin. Non-Aryan Duck!"). It was a just war but it also shows the terrible waste that war entails. Der Fuhrer sends a goat to gobble up the scrap pile. Really, everything you could want from Daffy. In cartoons from this period he was sometimes used as a hero to thwart the Nazis, which is what happens here. This is Warner's way of warning We of the 21st Century that just because someone's on the U.S. Presidential Ballot does NOT preclude the likelihood that he's a Russian KGB operative subject to Blackmail due to $100 million plus paid to him by Russian Mafia Go-Betweens for "Naming Rights," as documented by Disney's Nightline Program drilling down into the Real Life Manchurian Candidate Nov. 10, 2016.
