* AmateurFilmMakingPlot: Plucky finds out that he has to make an animated short for the ACME Looniversity Student Animation Festival, and since he skipped Animation 101 class all semester, Buster has to show him the basics of making a cartoon.

In particular, Elmyra and Dizzy's are drawn crudely in crayon, Hamton's is a stylized black-and-white animation, and Gogo's is live-action. Despite Plucky's short, "The Plucky Duck Story" only being five seconds long (Thanks in part to Shirley's film being 17 and a half hours long) and showing him as a kid crying after his toy deflates, Plucky wins the film festival, and his his grand prize is having to take Animation 101 over, since he skipped it the first time.

* BlackComedy: Elmyra's short "Elmyra's World of Aminals, Aminals, and More Aminals", which depicts Elmyra [[AndCallHimGeorge doing what she does best]] to an unlucky dog.
-->'''Elmyra''': I ''wuv'' the wittle furry things, but when they run away, I can't believe they'd want to leave so I ''squeeze'' them 'til they's dead!
* TheCameo: Speedy Gonzales's scrapped ''Tiny Toons'' counterpart can be seen in the audience is a handful of shots at the festival.
* {{Flashback}}: Buster describes this narrative device to Plucky as he walks him through the animation process. All it takes for them to travel back to a moment from Plucky's infancy is to think that they are there. Unfortunately, Plucky doesn't know how to flash ''back'' to the present, so he and Buster wind up finding themselves in the middle of a battle during World War II, and then in prehistoric times surrounded by cavemen. While Buster flashes back to the present, Plucky does not, and by the time Buster finds Plucky, he has turned into a single cell organism near the beginning of time.

** Then as Buster opens the animation festival:
-->'''Buster''': Good evening, ladies and gentlemen....and Monty.
* SanitySlippage: Bugs, Porky, and Daffy are reducing to babbling basket-cases by the end of Shirley's astoundingly long short.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
** When Bugs is looking to the rest of the faculty members to find judges for the animation festival, they all bolt from the room except Daffy and Porky who get caught by Bugs before they leave.
** Daffy later attempts to leave the festival, citing a "business meeting in Tibet", only to be stopped by Bugs.
