Golden Yeggs is a 1950 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng.[1] The cartoon was released on August 5, 1950, and stars Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.[2] A forerunner of the Rocky and Mugsy characters appear, with Rocky already in his present-day form.[3]
The story was written by Tedd Pierce and animated by Arthur Davis, Gerry Chiniquy, Ken Champin, Virgil Ross and Emery Hawkins. Paul Julian painted the backgrounds and Hawley Pratt designed the layouts. Mel Blanc provided the voices and Carl W. Stalling the music.[4]
"Yegg" is a slang term for a burglar or safecracker. The same play-on-words was used in the title of the 1947 Bugs Bunny cartoon, Easter Yeggs. It is also a film noir parody.[5]
