Michael Kahn (born December 8, c. 1930) is an American film editor known for his frequent collaboration with Steven Spielberg. His first collaboration with Spielberg was for his 1977 film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. He has edited all of Spielberg's subsequent films except for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), which was edited by Carol Littleton. Kahn has received eight Academy Award nominations for Best Film Editing and has won three times—for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Schindler's List (1993), and Saving Private Ryan (1998), which were all Spielberg-directed films. Kahn was born to a Jewish family in New York City. While his birth year has been reported as 1935, Kahn said in 2015, when asked if he was 80, that his age at that point was "closer to 85." Kahn has edited digitally since at least Twister (1996), though he continued to edit on film with Spielberg long after most editors had stopped doing so. In 2008, Kahn acknowledged that "people find it hard to believe that Steven and I still edit film on a Moviola and a KEM. [But] Steven feels film got us where we are today, and he loves the smell of it and feel of it. We started that way and both really enjoy it." George Lucas remarked, "Michael Kahn can cut faster on a Moviola than anybody can cut on an Avid." However, since The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (2011), Kahn has edited Spielberg's films on an Avid machine.

Fed up with playing second fiddle to Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck demands his own movie from "CEO of Warner Bros. Studios", Nora Rita Norita, Plucky Duck joins in along-side with Daffy since he felt what Daffy felt, but now they're promptly fired by the "Vice-President of Comedy", Kate Houghton. Security guard and aspiring stuntman, D.J. Drake is asked to escort Daffy and Plucky off the studio lot, but the ensuing chase leads to the Batmobile crashing into the studio water tower, which set the Warner Siblings on the loose to run amok in the studio, causing D.J. to also get fired in the process. D.J. returns home with Daffy and Plucky hitching a ride, where he receives a message from his father, action film star, Damian Drake, who is actually a secret agent. Damian instructs his son to travel to Las Vegas, find his associate, Dusty Tails, and find a mystical diamond called the "blue monkey" diamond, before he is shortly thereafter captured by the ACME Corporation, which is revenge of "former-CEO of Warner Bros. Studios" Mr. Plotz. D.J. and Daffy head for Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Bugs' routines collapsing without Daffy, and Tiny Toons' routine collapse without Plucky, so Kate Houghton have to find and rehire Daffy and Plucky or face herself terminated.
