The Chocolate Chase is a 1980 Looney Tunes short directed by Art Davis, Dave Detiege, Gerry Chiniquy, and Tony Benedict.
Storyline
Daffy Duck is hired by the pig owner of a chocolate bunny factory to guard the factory from Mexican mice. The mayor of the mouse village tries to offer Daffy money, but he steals the money and does not give any chocolate to the mice. Desperately hungry, the mice decide to call Speedy Gonzales, the fastest mouse in all of Mexico.
Daffy's attempts to stop Speedy in the factory, utilizing a net, a motorcycle, and chasing him on foot are in vain. Speedy succeeds in every way he tries to bring chocolate bunnies to the mice, ramming Daffy into a wall every time. Eventually, Daffy slides down a chute after missing Speedy in the factory. He is flattened and mixed into the chocolate and is spewed out as a chocolate duck. Speedy and the mice take home all of the chocolate bunnies, including the chocolate-covered Daffy. As the mice laugh at Daffy, Daffy shakes his head out of the chocolate shell and decides to join the Easter fiesta.
