A Coy Decoy is a 1941 Looney Tunes short directed by Bob Clampett.

Plot[]

Porky Pig, featured on the cover of The Westerner, comes to life and sings "Ride, Tenderfoot, Ride". Across the way, Daffy Duck, featured on the cover of The Ugly Duckling, comes to life and sings "Git Along, Little Dogies".

A Wolf emerges from The Wolf of Wall Street and lures Daffy to him using a female duck decoy. Daffy follows and grabs what he thinks is the decoy but is actually the wolf's nose. Once he realizes he is in danger, Daffy tells the wolf that he is not worth eating and runs away.

Daffy uses the books to defeat the wolf. He opens a copy of The Hurricane to blow the wolf away, and lightning from the book Lightning strikes the wolf.

Daffy returns to the decoy. Porky berates him, saying they could never "mean anything to each other." Daffy sticks up his nose and swims away with the decoy, followed by four tiny decoys that look like Daffy.

Censorship[]

  • Versions of this cartoon that have aired on the syndicated and FOX-run version of Merrie Melodies Starring Bugs Bunny & Friends, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and the Latin American cartoon channel Tooncast have edited this cartoon to remove Daffy singing, "I Can't Get Along Little Doggie", jumping into the book, Black Beauty, and riding out on the shoulders of a black mammy caricature. While Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and Tooncast deleted the entire part (cutting after Daffy begins vocalizing), Nickelodeon and both versions of Merrie Melodies Starring Bugs Bunny & Friends left in Daffy singing, "I Can't Get Along Little Doggie", but replaces the scene of Daffy riding out of the book on the back of a mammy caricature with a shot of Porky looking on in shock followed by a splash from the cut scene of Daffy getting thrown off the "black beauty" into a lake.[1] It should be noted that, despite this cut on these channels, none of them censored the opening pan that features the cover of the book Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Notes[]

  • This cartoon entered the public domain in 1969 since Warner Bros.-Seven Arts didn't renew the copyright.
  • The computer-colorized version has the wrong opening music playing over the opening logos, i.e. the 1938-41 arrangement of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down", instead of the correct 1941-45 arrangement. The WB shield also does not zoom in, as a freeze-frame is used instead. It also uses the 1937-39 "Porky in a Drum" closing animation in place of the correct 1939-43 closing animation (albeit using the correct 1941-46 closing music).
