Rocket Squad (1956)
10/10
Beautiful visuals really elevated this Looney Tunes cartoon
20 May 2010
I was really surprised at how much I loved Rocket Squad. I love Looney Tunes and I love Daffy Duck, and I loved this. Why? Well for starters the art work is absolutely fantastic here, the colours, the rockets, the sceneries and backgrounds are top notch throughout, with some truly delightful visual ideas(ie. tubes for stairs). The music is lovely as well, and the dialogue is wonderful in a deadpan sort of way. You can argue that the supporting characters are rather stereotyped, yes they are in a sense, but I was enjoying myself too much to really care. Daffy, in manic and cynical mode is on top form, and while Porky is merely a side character he does well with what he has. Once again, the one and only Mel Blanc does a stellar job with the voices. Overall, visually imaginative and funny cartoon. 10/10 Bethany Cox
