His Bitter Half is a 1950 Merrie Melodies short directed by I. Freleng.
Plot
Daffy Duck marries someone, but only for their money. He soon attempts to leave when he discovers what his new family is actually like - a pushy, abusive, domineering duck wife and her bratty, troublemaker son Wentworth.
Availability
- DVD - The West Point Story (unrestored, added as a bonus)
Censorship
- The version of this cartoon shown on FOX's The Merrie Melodies Show edited the part where Wentworth plays cowboys and Indians to remove the part where Wentworth fakes getting shot.[1]
- The version of this cartoon shown on Nickelodeon's Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon edited the part where Wentworth cautiously tries to light a string of fireworks as Nickelodeon censors feared kids will imitate this dangerous act. It should be noted that that scene was left uncut until 1992 and the above scene that FOX edited was shown uncensored on Nickelodeon both before and after 1992.[1]
Notes
- The premise of this cartoon would be later be reused for another cartoon, "Honey's Money"
