Duck Amuck
This 1953 Chuck Jones directed cartoon (with music by Carl Stalling) is on my list of all-time best Warner Brothers cartoons - a comic masterpiece that acknowledges how films are made as it deconstructs what happens inside the frame and on the soundtrack. Duck Amuck lifts its star out of a traditional story and even out of the carefully constructed illusion that is the film. It's for these reasons that Duck Amuck has been called a great postmodern film, mentioned in the same breath as the work of Godard and Brakhage.
