Porky Pig’s chickens go to war against a gang of ducks who are constantly stealing their food.

That’s Not All, Folks:

You can find out who animated what scene here.

The title is a play on the 1926 film, “What Price Glory”.

The ducks look like Daffy but talk like Donald. Daffy himself also makes a cameo at one point.

What I Like About This One:

The ducks’ letter to the chickens: “Fowl Ones- Let’s talk TURKEY! You’re too COCKY! We think you EGGS are CHICKEN. Why don’t you quit CACKLING and fight- you dumb CLUCKS!” Signed General Quacko, Ducktator”.

Eggs hatching into soldier chicks (animated by Robert Cannon).

Chickens digging a trench by eating at feed (animated by Izzy Ellis).

Battleships being shaped like angry ducks (animated by Ellis).

Porky ducking into a hole when he is caught in the middle of a battle (animated by Norm McCabe).

A duck catching a hen sneaking past “No Hen’s Land” only to be greeted by her kids who reply, “Nobody, Pop, but us chickens!” and shoot at him (animated by Ellis).

One of the ducks eating a chick’s hot air balloon made out of a sausage, while the chick parachutes out (animated by Ellis).

Soldier ducks waiting until 12:00 to make what appears to be a war move- but they’re actually taking a lunch break! (animated by McCabe)

Daffy’s cameo appearance when he disguises as the Easter Bunny, whose Easter eggs hatch into ducklings who attack Porky (animated by Cannon).

Ducks awkwardly performing a dance when the smoke they made disappears (animated by Jerry Hathcock).

Bombs being eggs that hatch into parachuting ducks with mallets (mostly animated by McCabe, although John Carey animates when they land).

When a bomb lands in Porky’s movable hole, he gets out and zippers it up (animated by McCabe).

Porky using corn as ammunition by firing it from a washing machine (animated by Carey; although Cannon animates when Porky fires at the parachuting ducks).

General Quacko attempting to sneak up on Porky, who turns out and fires Quacko into a stockade (animated by Ellis).

Quacko having one more trick up his sleeve: using eggs that hatch into ducklings that steal corn for themselves which they eat while in the stockade (animated by Ellis).
