Wikipedia article
'Rodent to Stardom' is a 1967 Warner Bros. 'Looney Tunes' cartoon directed by Alex Lovy. The short was released on September 23, 1967, and stars Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales. It is the first cartoon to credit Warner Bros.-Seven Arts, but still uses the "Abstract WB" titles.
Plot
Daffy is plucked for stardom by director Harvey Hassenpfeffer of Colossal Studiosor so he thinks. However, as he was in 'A Star Is Bored' (1956), Daffy's real fate is to be the stunt man for the star, in this case Speedy Gonzales. The picture is 'The Nursery Rhyme Review'. First, "the sky is falling"; next, the "rockabye baby" cradle falls from a treetop. Daffy realizes he needs to get rid of Speedy, so he asks for an autograph and traps Speedy in a book, which he deposits in a library. Daffy gets the love scene with Ducky Lamour, but after a number of stunts and just before the kiss, his stand-in, Speedy, takes over. "There's no business like show business, eh, Senor Daffy?" Speedy said. "Boy, you can say that again!" Daffy replied in disgust, as he watches Speedy kissing Ducky on the cheek.
