Fiesta Fiasco is a 1967 Looney Tunes short directed by Alex Lovy.

Plot[]

Speedy Gonzales is setting up a fiesta with his fellow mice. Daffy Duck sees the balloons and streamers and asks about them, but Speedy says he doesn't see anything. Daffy walks out only to realize that they are indeed having a party without Daffy. Jealous about not being invited, Daffy plans to ruin the party. He fetches some spare parts from a nearby shed and fabricates a rain cloud machine. It poofs out a dreary little cloud, but instead of raining on the party, it rains on Daffy. Daffy runs away but the cloud matches every move. He manages to capture the cloud in a sack and hauls it back to the party, but it continues to rain on him instead. Growing more violent, it zaps him with lightning and spins him up in a tornado.

Daffy catches the cloud with a net and tries to bring it back to the party, but the cloud dissolves into water and re-condenses back into Daffy's head like fog so he can't see. Eventually, Daffy walks off the edge of a cliff, and the cloud rains on him after a long fall. Finally, Daffy grabs a vacuum cleaner and sucks up the cloud, but unbeknownst to him the cloud just blows out of the other end. Daffy switches the vacuum in reverse, thinking he'll blow the cloud into the party, but it sucks him through the machine instead and he is flung into the cake. Speedy finally reveals that the fiesta is really a surprise birthday party for Daffy, and Daffy is thankful that Speedy remembers his birthday, and when he cries among realizing he nearly made a terrible mistake, the cloud rains on Daffy once more.

Notes[]

  • Having been released on VHS as part of The Looney Tunes Video Show in 1983, this marks the first time a W7-era cartoon has been officially released on home video (albeit in Europe), and the only W7-era cartoon to be officially released on the VHS format.
  • When shown on Cartoon Network and Boomerang, this short plays in PAL audio, the only W7 cartoon to be presented in the PAL format.
  • This is one of the rare occasions where Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales are portrayed as friends instead of enemies. This is why when Daffy thinks Speedy is intentionally excluding him from the fiesta, he gets jealous and tries to sabotage the party for his friend not inviting him, unaware that it is actually his surprise birthday party, and among finding this out at the end, his friendship with Speedy is quickly restored.
  • A portion of the cartoon's opening credits music are played during the opening sequence to The Merrie Melodies Show, and the closing credits feature the entire opening credits music, along with the first piece of background score from this cartoon (specifically the scene where the mice are preparing the fiesta until Daffy arrives).
  • When Daffy Duck falls into the gorge, the background in the falling shot is a recolored background from "Zoom and Bored" from ten years earlier. It was also previously reused by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises in "The Wild Chase" two years earlier in a remake of the aforementioned "Zoom and Bored" scene.
  • MeTV aired a previously unreleased restored print of this cartoon on Saturday Morning Cartoons.
