I suppose mine is Daffy, but I have a special affection for Sylvester's affected performance and his way of saying "The Scarlet Puh-puh-pumpernickel"!

My favorite cast member is The Fair Melissa. Her voice is so innocent and nice when she romantically talks about Daffy as The Scarlet Pumpernickel. She's one of the cutest minor Looney Tunes characters that I've seen so far.

I go with Sylvester he stole the movie in my opinion. Daffy was great as always. But it was nice to see Sylvester play competent villain. Instead of the incompetent foil to Tweety that he always play.

Sylvester.

Nay, but perchance, foppish as I am, I might be the Scarlet Pumpernickel?

Daffy, without a doubt, but it's nice to see Porky Pig playing a bad guy and pitting his wits against "that masked stinker!"

For me, Daffy stole the show. It's such a brilliant Looney Tunes short.

It's great to see characters working together who don't normally interact. Sylvester is great as the villain, far smarter than he usually plays in his cartoons with Tweety. I liked Porky as well, it's rare that you see him in a 'dark' role.

That line always cracks me up:

"Firtht, I am happy, for I am to wed the fair Melitha! But then, I am furiouth, for I depithe the Scarlet P-p-pumpernickel!"
