Daffy's Rhapsody is a 2012 animated Looney Tunes short film featuring the characters Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd. Directed by Matthew O'Callaghan and written by Tom Sheppard,[2] the film is an adaptation of the song of the same name which was sung by Mel Blanc and recorded in the 1950s by Capitol Records.[3] Daffy's Rhapsody was first shown in theaters before Warner Bros.' feature-length film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.[4] Unlike the previous Looney Tunes 3-D shorts, Daffy's Rhapsody was not immediately released on home media. In 2016, the official Warner Bros. Animation uploaded the short to Google but eventually removed it, leaving unofficial uploads of the short being available.[5] It took until 2021 for the short to be officially available to purchase on Stars of Space Jam: Looney Tunes Collection.
