Porky's Badtime Story - Remake

Remake

Porky's Badtime Story was remade in 1944 as Tick Tock Tuckered with Daffy Duck replacing Gabby Goat as Porky's sidekick. It was an exact remake, except for the following differences:

  • Tick Tock Tuckered was eligible for reissue into the "Blue Ribbon Classics" series of Merrie Melodies, as it was in Technicolor. Badtime Story was not eligible for that collection, as it was in black and white.
  • In Tick Tock Tuckered, while Porky is naked, Daffy puts on two shoes. In Badtime Story, Gabby only puts on one shoe.
  • In Tick Tock Tuckered, the heroes work for Fly-by-Nite Aircraft Co. In Badtime Story, the place is called Peter Piper Pickled Peppers.
  • In Badtime Story, there were decrepit paint jobs. In Tick Tock Tuckered, the paint jobs are new.
  • In Tick Tock Tuckered, Daffy sets the time clock back a few hours, punches in and makes the alarm go off. In Badtime Story, Gabby tries to gently punch in, but has to get tough.
  • In Tick Tock Tuckered, the boss calls Porky and Daffy "The Dover Boys" before he screams "Now get this! If you're late one more time, you're fired! Now get to work!", in Badtime Story, the boss calls Porky and Gabby "The Rover Boys."
  • In Tick Tock Tuckered, the boss is a human character (a caricature of Clampett's immediate boss, production manager Ray Katz). In Badtime Story, the boss is a canine character and is voiced by Billy Bletcher.
  • The fly scene in Badtime Story is not seen. Instead, the previous scene is extended to where Porky throws his book The Falcon, and gets hit with The Falcon Returns.
  • After Porky's nightshade problem in Tick Tock Tuckered, Daffy solves the problem by shooting the moon. Gabby does not do this in Badtime Story.
  • In Tick Tock Tuckered, there is an added part where Porky tells Daffy that they don't have to go to work after they see the "CLOSED" sign on the factory door. (Daffy: "Now he tells me!"), while in Badtime Story, Porky and Gabby simply see the sign and race back home without saying a word.
  • At the end of Tick Tock Tuckered, Porky shoots the clock, while in Badtime Story, he hits it with a mallet.
