Daffy Duck is back and better than ever as he suits up to play Duck Dodgers in an all-new, half-hour action/comedy animated series. Duck Dodgers debuted on Cartoon Network on Saturday, August 23, 2003. Duck Dodgers showcases classic Looney Tunes characters Daffy Duck and Porky Pig in the 24th ½ century as they attempt to protect the planet Earth from its enemies. The series is based off of the popular "Duck Dodgers in the 24th ½ Century" Looney Tunes short, which is a parody of the sci-fi classic "Buck Rogers of the 25th Century."
Duck Dodgers (Daffy Duck) is a hapless soul who was accidentally frozen inside a spacecraft in the 21st century and thawed out 351 years later. Through his scheming and lies, Duck Dodgers has convinced the Earth’s Defensive Protectorate that he is a hero from the 21st century and has been given a starship and crew - an adoring and eager young Space Cadet (Porky Pig). Together they form a “galactic force” that must team up against Earth’s major foe, Mars, and its Martian Commander X-2 (played by Marvin the Martian). Each episode will revolve around Duck Dodgers’ adventures, blundering successes and “day-saving” defeats. He’s an unlikely hero who somehow always manages to come out on top.
Duck Dodgers is created by Warner Bros. Animation for Cartoon Network. Each episode of Duck Dodgers will features two 11-minute cartoons per episode.
