Description

Welcome to Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island where your fantastic imaginings can be realized. You hosts at this tropical paradise are none other than inimitable Daffy Duck and his sidekick, Speedy Gonzales. "Smile everyone, smile," Daffy admonishes as he and Speedy are ready to greet their disembarking guests in this animated feature-length spoof. All the Warner Bros. cartoon characters, Bugs Bunny, Granny, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepe Le Pew, Chester, Spike, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Mrs. Sylvester and Miss Prissy, arrive on Daffy's island ready to bring their wildest fantasies to life - and they do, with laughter and adventure all the way! But all is not ducky, as the notorious pirate Yosemite Sam and his first mate, Tasmanian Devil, invade the island retreat looking for the secret to Daffy's amazing atoll. Daffy Duck's first starring role in a feature-length feature brings cartoon fans classic Warner Bros. footage together with new animated sequences that will delight young and old alike. Join in all the fun as we learn how Daffy really got his own fantastic island, whether he'll be able to keep it from the nefarious Pirate Sam, and whether wishes really can come true!

Classic cartoons in order

The following includes the Well's descriptions of each cartoon (except for the first one) in relation to that character's wish. Some cartoons are abridged.

• Captain Hareblower (Pirate Sam vs. Bugs Bunny)
• Stupor Duck (Daffy's wish): The Well: "Your fondest wish, your fondest dream. I'll make you Super Duck Supreme!"
• Greedy for Tweety (Granny's wish, slightly extended): The Well: "Your wish shall be granted. Gaze into me and see. The next time that you see yourself, a nurse is what you'll be."
• Banty Raids (Foghorn's wish, shortened): The Well: "I am here to grant your wish; the Spirit of the Well. I will knock the cockiness out of that little cockerel!" After this one, Foghorn, believing he was hornswoggled, demands a refund, but gets another penny.
• Louvre Come Back to Me! (Pepé Le Pew's wish, shortened): The Well: "I grant your wish to meet a girl of beauty unsurpassed, which, when compared with works of art, will leave the Louvre outclassed."
• Tree for Two (Spike and Chester's wish): The Well: "If that's his wish, and yours alike, I'll make Chester brave and strong, like Spike."
• Curtain Razor (Porky Pig's wish, shortened): The Well: "Discovering new talent for the world to see; a wondrous thing for a producer to be..."
• A Mouse Divided (Sylvester's wife's wish, the opening with the drunken stork is omitted and the ending was changed to occur on the island): Sylvester's wife: "Wishing Well. Oh, Wishing Well, you I do entreat. I wish our house would resound to... the patter of little feet." The Well: "I hear your wish and I obey. The patter of little feet you shall hear this day." (Sylvester's wife's wish is included in the description because she, like the Well, speaks it in rhyme.)
• Of Rice and Hen & Lovelorn Leghorn (Prissy's wish, with the opening of the former and the plot of the latter): The Well: "Your mind is such a simple thing, your wish I can foretell: you're wishing for a husband, and the ring of a wedding bell?"
• From Hare to Heir (Pirate Sam's wish, final wish to show a classic Looney Tunes cartoon): The Well: "A very rich relative in poor health doth will to you his entire wealth."
