The Up-Standing Sitter is a 1948Warner Bros.Looney Tunes cartoon, directed byRobert McKimson.[1] The cartoon was released on July 3, 1948, and starsDaffy Duck.[2] All voices are byMel Blanc.
Daffy Duck, employed by a baby-sitting agency, is tasked with watching over a hen's egg on a farm. When the egg hatches into a mischievous chick resemblingHenery Hawk, chaos ensues as the chick relentlessly torments Daffy with pranks and gags. Daffy's various attempts to control the chick backfire, leading to mishaps, including encounters with a bulldog. Eventually, Daffy concedes defeat and humorously informs his agency that his next job will have to be done "standing up."
The title is a play on the expression "up-standing citizen" and on standing being opposite of sitting (a fact which figures into the film's closing gag). The cartoon was made inCinecolor when a 1948 strike briefly halted production atTechnicolor.[3]
