====Solo Daffy==== Film critic Steve Schneider calls Jones' version of Daffy "a kind of unleashed [[Id, ego, and super-ego|id]]."<ref name="Schneider161">{{Cite book|last=Schneider|page=161|title=That's All Folks!: The Art of Warner Bros. Animation}}</ref> Jones said that his version of the character "expresses all of the things we're afraid to express."<ref name="Schneider161"/> This is evident in Jones' ''[[Duck Amuck]]'' (1953), "one of the few unarguable masterpieces of American animation" according to Schneider.<ref name="Schneider 112">{{Cite book|last=Schneider|page=112|title=That's All Folks!: The Art of Warner Bros. Animation}}</ref> In the episode, Daffy is plagued by a godlike animator whose malicious paintbrush alters the setting, soundtrack, and even Daffy. When Daffy demands to know who is responsible for the changes, the camera pulls back to reveal none other than Bugs Bunny. ''Duck Amuck'' is widely heralded as a classic of filmmaking for its illustration that a character's personality can be recognized independently of appearance, setting, voice, and plot.<ref name="Schneider 112"/> In 1999, the short was selected for preservation in the United States [[National Film Registry]].
