* UnadoptableOrphan: In this continuity, Daffy Duck grew up in an orphanage but was always passed over when potential adopters arrived. The resulting heartbreak caused him to grow up to be a greedy and family-averse businessman.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Yosemite Sam is usually a greedy and violent jerk who is far worse than Daffy. Here he plays the Ghost of Christmas Present, where he is concerned for the welfare of Daffy's employees and is trying to get Daffy to turn himself around. He does beat the crap out of Daffy whenever he gets the chance, but this is easy to forgive given how [[{{Jerkass}} Daffy has acted for the movie]].



* IgnoredEpiphany: After watching Priscilla wishing on the Christmas star, Daffy says to Bugs he "almost felt something". Bugs asks him if that means he's willing to mend his greedy ways, to which Daffy responds with "I said I felt ''something''. Not insanity!"

** Subverted later on. When Daffy realizes how much money he is spending to give all his employees raises and paid vacations, he ''almost'' reverts back to his greedy ways. Fortunately, some kindly words for Priscilla makes Daffy realize it is all worth it and his redemption sticks.


Added DiffLines:

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: As expected from a Scrooge equivalent, Daffy eventually goes through this. He is particularly stubborn about reforming compared to other Scrooges, but in the end he fully realizes how much his greed has harmed others.


Added DiffLines:

* SoProudOfYou: After Daffy changes, the Ghosts watch him from above and all are clearly overjoyed at his redemption.

* BaitAndSwitch: At the end, when Daffy is giving gifts to his employees, his gift to Wile E. Coyote, who is established to be constantly hungry on the job, is to hire him a personal chef who's cooked him up a nice juicy bird. The tray opens up... and it's a regular turkey, not the Road Runner (who's apparently the store's mailroom worker).


Added DiffLines:

* DecompositeCharacter:
** The role of Jacob Marley is kind of split between two characters: Bugs Bunny, who is the first one to call out Daffy's selfish behavior and warn him that the Ghosts of Christmas come to haunt people like him, and Sylvester, who gets the actual, traditional Jacob Marley scene to officially start the haunting.
** The Ghost of Christmas Past is represented by both Granny and Tweety together.
** While Porky Pig stands in for most of Bob Cratchit's role in the story, Daffy has many more employers than Scrooge did, and the Ghost of Christmas Present also highlights how Daffy is affecting their Christmases, specifically Elmer Fudd being exhausted from overwork and and Marvin the Martian being homesick and wanting to spend time with his family back on Mars.

This is actually the second ''Franchise/LooneyTunes'' adaptation of ''A Christmas Carol'', following 1979's short cartoon ''Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol'' from the ChristmasSpecial ''Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales (which Daffy was strangely absent from).'' That adaptation is more faithful in setting to the original Dickens work, but is ultra condensed to fit an ''8 minute long'' runtime. Porky Pig played the Bob Cratchit role in this one too.

Daffy Duck (in an Ebenezer Scrooge-like role) is the selfish and greedy owner of the supremely successful Lucky Duck Superstore, treating his employees, particularly his long-suffering Assistant Manager Porky Pig (playing the role of Bob Cratchit) like garbage. Bugs Bunny warns Daffy that bad things happen to people who mess with Christmas, and especially bad ones get visited by the Ghosts of Christmas. Daffy scoffs at this notion, but little does he know that he's in for quite a festive and frightening night.
