The Up-Standing Sitter is a 1948 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by Robert McKimson.[1] The cartoon was released on July 3, 1948, and stars Daffy Duck.[2] All voices are by Mel 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 resembling Henery 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 in Cinecolor when a 1948 strike briefly halted production at Technicolor.[3]
