Daffy:1983


Daffy finally got a movie with his name in it in 1983. Another complilation film, "Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island" blends classic cartoons with new animation, in a parody of "Fantasy Island".


Daffy and Speedy Gonzales are stranded on a desert island and come in possession of Yosemite Sam's treasure map. It leads them to a magic wishing well.


Daffy uses the well to transform the island into a resort where people will come and pay tons of money to have thier wishes granted.


The Looney Tunes characters arrive and one by one make wishes at the well, giving the opportunity for the classic shorts to be incorporated.


At the end of the movie, Daffy loses the map, and therefore possession of the well, and the island returns to the desolate location it once was. The well grants the castaways three last wishes: Speedy wishes for a burrito, Daffy wishes the burrito was stuck on Speedy's nose, and Sam wishes for a ship to escape the island, leaving Daffy and Speedy behind.
