 The Great Piggy Bank Robbery
comment
The Great Piggy Bank Robbery is a 1946 Looney Tunes short directed by Bob Clampett.The central character of the cartoon is Daffy Duck. While reading his beloved Dick Tracy comic book, Daffy knocks himself out—upon which he enters a fantasy in which he is Duck Twacy, who has to investigate a conspicuous piggy bank robbery crime wave—if only because his own precious piggy bank was stolen.What ensues is a very atmospheric parody of a typical detective movie, albeit peppered with typical mainstays of Bob Clampett's shorts, including strong emphasis on musical timing (timed to both the actions and the dialogue!), plenty of wordplay, dynamic background layouts, and some of the most bizarre, expressive animation displayed on the Silver Screen since the heydays of Fleischer Studios.When Cartoon Network launched in October 1992, this was the third cartoon to air.Received a sequel, of sorts, on an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures, with Plucky playing the titular role. (It was made mainly to attempt to tie-in with the film adaptation with Warren Beatty) It's just as deranged as the short that inspired it.

Piggy Bank: The short's plot revolves around Duck Twacy believing that his prized piggy bank was stolen, having previously received multiple calls about such crimes.

Reveal Shot: When Daffy's dream begins, we see Duck Twacy in silhouette through the door of his office, pointing and growling, "I'm gonna pin it on ya, see? I'm gonna pin it on ya!" It then dissolves to inside his office, and we see he's blindfolded and playing pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey. (Playfully: "I'll pin it on ya or my name ain't Duck Twacy!") Immediately after that, Daffy hears the phone ring and turns his head, revealing an eyehole in the blindfold.

Bonus for an (unidentified) parody of the actual Dick Tracy villain "Flattop", who has airplanes launching off his flat head: It's a pun on both the villain's name as well as the term "flattop," meaning aircraft carrier.

Early-Installment Weirdness: This is the first of several cartoons where Daffy is portrayed as a parody of a well-known character, and also the only one where he's actually competent note while he could intimidate the bad guys in The Scarlet Pumpernickel, he was still pretty buffoonish.

Bait-and-Switch: Used twice in a row. First, Daffy looks like he's about to run out the door, but stops on a dime to call a taxi. Second, the taxi goes off without him. ("Keeps them on their toes!") Used a third time when Daffy boards a trolley, driven by Porky Pig, to get to the gang's hideout—even though it only takes a second to reach it.

Shout-Out
 The Great Piggy Bank Robbery / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The title is a reference to The Great Train Robbery. The scene in which Duck Twacy announces to the criminals, "You're all under arrest!", was cribbed from a moment in RKO's Gunga Din when Sgt. Cutter (Cary Grant) does the same to a temple-full of Thugs. (No, real Thugs.) This cartoon also homages the corpses falling out of the closet scene from Tex Avery's MGM Short Who Killed Who?, (which in turn was a reference to the ending of The Public Enemy (1931), although he made his version more grim—in context, Daffy Duck gunned down the bodies with a tommy gun through the door), not to mention the bodies fall much faster. The animation of Daffy reading the comic book and saying, "I can't wait to see what happens to Dick Tracy!" is reused from the earlier Clampett cartoon, Farm Frolics, but it was a dog instead of Daffy. One of the criminals Daffy encounters is an anthropomorphic baseball bat, which Daffy names as...Bat-man! The first part of Daffy's dream reuses the "Pin it on ya!" gag from the earlier Tex Avery short Thugs With Dirty Mugs. During said scene, his silhouette face briefly morphs into that of Dick Tracy. Daffy's "I looove that man!" references the Catchphrase of Beulah, a character on radio's Fibber McGee and Molly (and later her own, eponymous spinoff show). The pig's line at the end also references the phrase, only there it's "Love that duck!" Daffy's "Agony!" line is an in-joke referring to a common phrase spoken by Henry "Smokey" Garner, the Looney Tunes staff cameraman and projectionist. The Pumpkinhead crook is unmistakably a reference to Jack Pumpkinhead from The Marvelous Land of Oz. After Daffy goes to the Villains' Lair through the welcome mat, he remarks to the audience, "Was that trip really necessary?", a reference to a slogan regarding the rubber shortage during the '40s. (This was made during the Second World War, after all.) One of the criminals, Neon Noodle, looks like Frankenstein's Monster. Another is an anthropomorphic wolf named Wolf Man.
