History WesternAnimation / DaffyDuckAndPorkyPigMeetTheGroovieGoolies

* LimitedAnimation: Well, it ''is'' a Filmation production. Even the ''Looney Tunes'' characters are animated in a quite limited manner, which is unusual for their franchise.

* TheStoic: Several of the Looney Tunes characters speak rather flatly or without much emotion. This is presumably due to Creator/MelBlanc not being very thrilled about the project, and it shows in much of his voice work here (not counting Daffy and Tweety, who were sped up way much higher than usual.) Worth of note is Elmer Fudd's single line of dialogue, spoken in a gravelly, off-sounding version of Fudd's voice (though this could also be attributed to how Blanc couldn't really get Elmer's voice right until later on in TheSeventies, after Elmer's original voice actor Arthur Q. Bryan died in 1959.)

* OffModel: The main ''Looney Tunes'' characters frequently fall victim to this throughout the special, with Daffy Duck in particular doing so, at times resembling his appearance in the 1967/68 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts cartoons directed by Alex Lovy, and at other times looking like how he was drawn in some ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episodes that were animated by Creator/{{AKOM}} and Creator/KennedyCartoons.

* InstantCostumeChange: One of the Phantom's disguise methods, often going into a [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning tornado-like spin]] to do so.

* MasterOfDisguise: The Phantom of the Flickers. He is able to flawlessly impersonate others and completely change his form by various disguise methods, often by a FullBodyDisguise (sometimes done by a [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning tornado-spin]] InstantCostumeChange, or sometimes done with [[LatexPerfection conventional rubber masks]]). He even goes as far as to wear masks of all the other Groovie Goolies and Daffy Duck.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Daffy is much closer to Bugs than his [[ButtMonkey normal self]], laid-back and in control. At times he's also somewhat similar to his late 1940s-early 1950s self, seen by some as a welcome change after being a very bitter and greedy villain throughout much of TheSixties (largely when paired up with WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales).

'''Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies''' is a 1972 MadeForTVMovie that aired as part of ''ABC's Saturday Superstar Movie''. It was produced by Creator/{{Filmation}}, and combined one of their original franchises, ''[[WesternAnimation/SabrinaAndTheGroovieGoolies The Groovie Goolies]]'', with the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters, with the notable exception of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny (instead, WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck played a major role, and WesternAnimation/PorkyPig also got top billing despite [[AdvertisedExtra playing a fairly minor role]]). Because Creator/WarnerBros Animation shut down in 1969 (only to reopen in 1980), Warner Bros. loaned out their characters to Filmation for this TV movie.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: Some of the ''Looney Tunes'' characters look startlingly different when animated by Filmation. Wile E. Coyote and Pepe Le Pew in particular are drawn scruffier than usual, and at times Pepe resembles a typical 1960s/1970s Creator/HannaBarbera rodent character (not unlike WesternAnimation/SecretSquirrel).

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Daffy is much closer to Bugs than his [[ButtMonkey normal self]], laid-back and in control.

* LaughTrack: This TV movie has one, which is normal for Filmation, but ''not'' normal for the ''Looney Tunes''.

* MasterOfDisguise: The Phantom of the Flickers. He is able to flawlessly impersonate others and completely change his form by various disguise methods, often by a FullBodyDisguise (sometimes done by a [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning tornado-spin]] InstantCostumeChange, or sometimes done with [[LatexPerfection conventional rubber masks]]). He even goes as far as to impersonate all the other Groovie Goolies and Daffy Duck.

* OffModel: The main ''Looney Tunes'' characters frequently fall victim to this throughout the short, with Daffy Duck in particular doing so, at times resembling his appearance in the 1967/68 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts cartoons directed by Alex Lovy, and at other times looking like how he was drawn in some ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episodes that were animated by Creator/{{AKOM}} and Creator/KennedyCartoons.

* RecycledAnimation / StockFootage: Again, this common Filmation trope appears quite a bit, reusing several poses and walk/run cycles.

* TheStoic: Several of the Looney Tunes characters speak rather flatly or without much emotion. This is presumably due to Creator/MelBlanc not being very thrilled about the project, and it shows in much of his voice work here (not counting Daffy and Tweety, who were sped up way much higher than usual.)

* StockFootage: Again, this common Filmation trope appears quite a bit, reusing several poses and walk/run cycles.

* CastAsAMask: When the Phantom wears rubber masks of the other Groovie Goolies, along with when he disguises as Hauntleroy, he perfectly imitates their voices by using this trope. Averted with his other disguises (ones not impersonating existing characters), where Larry Storch shows off his range of voice work.
* DirtyCoward: Daffy Duck, of course.

* StockSoundEffects: This TV movie has virtually none of the classic Treg Brown-designed Warner Bros. sound effects. As per standard for Filmation, it generally uses low-quality versions of the Creator/HannaBarbera sound effects, along with a few classic Creator/{{Disney}} sounds. As a result, it sounds pretty similar to the late 1960s Warner Bros.- Seven Arts cartoons that used H-B's sound effects, but the selection here is not as limited as in those shorts.

* FanOfTheUnderdog: Frank is apparently a big fan of Daffy, ''LooneyTunes''' in-universe UnpopularPopularCharacter.

The TV movie has often been criticized by many ''Looney Tunes'' fans, often going as far as to call it the worst ''Looney Tunes'' production ever made, even worse than ''WesternAnimation/SeeYaLaterGladiator''!

* OffModel: The main ''Looney Tunes'' characters frequently fall victim to this throughout the short, with Daffy Duck in particular doing so, often resembling his appearance in the 1967/68 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts cartoons directed by Alex Lovy.

'''Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies''' is a 1972 MadeForTVMovie that aired as part of ''ABC's Saturday Superstar Movie''. It was produced by Creator/{{Filmation}}, and combined one of their original franchises, ''[[WesternAnimation/SabrinaAndTheGroovieGoolies The Groovie Goolies]]'' with the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters, with the notable exception of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny (instead, WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck played a major role, and WesternAnimation/PorkyPig also got top billing despite [[AdvertisedExtra playing a fairly minor role]]). Because Creator/WarnerBros Animation shut down in 1969 (only to reopen in 1980), Warner Bros. loaned out their characters to Filmation for this TV movie.

The plot, as is, involved the Looney Tunes working on Daffy Duck's [[ShowWithinAShow new film]] ''Myth/KingArthur and his Knights of the Round Table''. But the mysterious Phantom of the Flickers is scaring everyone on the set, vows to destroy every frame of film Daffy Duck made, and plans to steal Daffy's new movie. So Frankie, who is [[LoonyFan a big fan of Daffy Duck]], takes the Goolies along with him to Main/HollywoodCalifornia to help Daffy and stop the Phantom. HilarityEnsues.

* HurricaneOfPuns: There's quite a lot of puns in this, especially coming from the Goolies.
* InstantCostumeChange: One of the Phantom of the Flickers's disguise methods, often going into a [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning tornado-like spin]] to do so.

* MasterOfDisguise: The Phantom of the Flickers. He is able to flawlessly impersonate others and completely change his form by various disguise methods, often by a FullBodyDisguise (sometimes done by a [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning tornado-spin]] InstantCostumeChange, or sometimes done with [[LatexPerfection conventional rubber masks]].) He even goes as far to impersonate all the other Groovie Goolies and Daffy Duck.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Claude Chaney, [[spoiler:a.k.a. the Phantom of the Flickers,]] has his name based off two famous horror movie actors, Creator/ClaudeRains and Creator/LonChaney.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In addition to the main Groovie Goolies characters (i.e. Frankie's voice being based off Creator/BorisKarloff and Mummy's voice being an imitation of Creator/EdWynn), Larry Storch gives Claude Chaney ([[spoiler:a.k.a. the Phantom of the Flickers]]) a voice based off Creator/ClaudeRains, and does a pretty convincing job with it.
* OffModel: The main ''Looney Tunes'' characters frequently fall victim to this throughout the short, with Daffy Duck in particular doing so, often at times resembling how he appeared in the 1967-1968 Warner Bros.- Seven Arts cartoons directed by Alex Lovy.

* YouLookFamiliar: In-universe; Drac and Hagatha can't help but notice how familiar the Phantom of the Flickers looks. At the end, it hits Drac: [[spoiler: the Phantom is his uncle Claude Chaney!]]
