"The Daffy Duckaroo" Lost Scene Found!

I was expecting to post this on March 28 (the Saturday after the release of Looney Tunes Collector’s Vault Volume 2 on March 24), but it turns out I get to post this earlier than expected. One of the four cartoons specifically restored by Warner Archive for this new set, “The Daffy Duckaroo” (I did a post on this one back in December 2024) had, for many years, been missing the above scene where Daffy’s trailer is revealed with various signs on it. The banner above it reads, “Warner Bros. Special”. When the black and white Warner cartoons were sold to Sunset Productions for television airings in the 1950’s and 1960’s (barring the Merrie Melodies from the Harman-Ising era- except for “Lady Play Your Mandolin”- which were sold to Associated Artists Productions along with all of the color Warner cartoons released before August 1948), the opening and closing titles were replaced as were any gags referring to Warner Bros. because studio head Jack Warner was dismissive of the idea of television and didn’t want to get involved with it in any way. Fortunately, these opening and closing titles and gags are still intact in the original negatives (since black and white was being retired in favor of color around the time certain cartoons were being reissued, the black and white cartoons were excluded from getting Blue Ribbon reissues and therefore having their opening credits removed) so come March 24, this once-lost scene will no longer be lost.
