Hollywood Daffy is a 1946 Merrie Melodies short planned by Friz Freleng and finished by Hawley Pratt
Plot[]
Daffy Duck visits Hollywood, wanting to see Hollywood stars and tries to sneak onto the "Warmer Brothers" set, but does not receive a warm welcome from the Joe Besser-parody Studio Guard.
Daffy sneaks in the studio via various disguises, first as popular movie stars Charlie Chaplin, Jimmy Durante, Bing Crosby, and then as the Academy Oscar statue, only to get kicked out each time by the studio guard, resulting in a long chase where Daffy outsmarts the dimwitted studio guard by disguising as both a studio tour guide and then a movie director.
The studio guard finally catches Daffy, eager to throw him out of the Warmer Brothers studio, and Daffy reiterates that he won't leave until he gets to see "stars". The studio guard gives in to Daffy's wishes and lets him into the studio, which turns out to be a trick: he bluntly fulfilled Daffy's wishes by literally giving him stars to see by whacking his head with a baton numerous times, and then he kicks Daffy out into the dumpster at the back of the studio. A dazed Daffy is happy to get to see "stars" around his head and claims he sees Hedy Lemarr, Alexis Smith, Dorothy Lamour, Baby Snooks, and Ann Sheridan. He kisses the Sheridan star and both bounce and hoot wildly.
