This consistently clever, though rarely hilarious low budget cartoon is suitable only for hardcore cartoon (homoerotic?)animation fans, with it's sole purpose being 70 + minutes of shoddy animation dedicated to making fun with, though not of, gays. Alienating a large portion in an already small demographic, Queer Duck does not shy away from the queer demographic in it's relentless cuts to musical numbers and continuous homophobic baiting, although the constant pop culture and celebrity gags should appease many of the students of Family Guy, South Park, and The Simpsons (from which Queer Duck's creator was first established). If one were to distill the zany scatological humor found throughout those gems, cut the resources by about 85%, and add an entire unabashedly homosexual slant, one may appreciate what this little toon is offering.

Queer Duck the movie has got to be one of the worst movies from 2006 along with The Wild (2006), The Fox And The Hound 2 etc. This is one of the worst movies ever and even a waste of time to watch it, i would prefer to watch Cars (2006) better than this movie.

Queer Duck: The movie is a solid comedy about a homosexual duck fighting with his sexuality, good jokes all around and a real connection to the characters, a shout out to openly gator as my favourite of the bunch. The comedy in the film didn't over shadow the character development and they connected wonderfully ending in a good mix of comedy and serious character development I would rate a solid 7/10 and would watch with my kids again.

You would think, with the voice talent in this movie, that it would be at least a little funny. 90% of this cast has made me laugh out loud at least once. Maybe, MAYBE it's funnier if you're gay but I like to think that gay people have better sense of humor than this. It's full of silly puns, old messages and tired stereotype jokes. South Park has done more credit to people who are homosexual.

I have considered that if someone has a different sexual orientation, maybe they also have a different comic orientation but I don't think this is a case of humor being different, as if written in a language other than my "straight" tongue. I get the jokes, Michael Jackson looks like an old woman, Judy Garland is Queen of the Gays and Cher is just an endless source of fabulous humor. How many Evil Christian Preacher characters have we seen before? I've just heard it all before and it was funnier and better said the first time. I mean, look at the movie "But I'm a Cheerleader" about a girl who goes off to a straight reprogramming camp. Same theme but funny!

I literally signed up at this site just to knock this lame duck out of the water. I'm almost positive the person who wrote the review "Queer Duck Rules" had some hand in the production of this film, because this was just junk. I checked it out because I saw that it was written by a former Simpsons writer, and had Conan as a guest voice...how could that not be funny? But this film just completely lacked the flow of a proper comedy. There were a couple of decent jokes in the mess though, but I didn't actually laugh at any of them. I just kind of acknowledged that they were jokes in a "well, that's not bad" type of way. Nothing worth spending money on.

In addition, the film kept on using sound effects after each joke...like a drummer in a nightclub. I guess to ensure that the audience understood which lines were jokes, and just about everyone came off looking bad. On top of all of this, the musical numbers were drawn out and tedious, which made them feel like nothing more than filler.

This cartoon runs at about seventy-two minutes. I turned it off at about fifty minutes, and I actually felt ashamed that I wasted fifty minutes on it. That should tell you all you need to know right there.

People need to understand, that sometimes everyone enjoys a light-hearted comedy, that sparks creative freedom. Okay, sure the premise is about 15 years too late, its about a gay duck and his silly adventures. But what makes this truly enjoyable comedy, absolute hilarious, is its ability not to take itself too seriously. Growing up gay and Jewish makes me relate to the entire characterization of Seymour Duckstein. But when this melodramatic comedy, has names of cartoon characters such as Oscar Wildcat, Bi-Polar bear,just too name a few. I cant recommend this comedy enough, if you want a funny, laugh-out-loud comedy that is so tongue-and-cheek it makes family guy look like the first seasons of the Simpson's. The only shortcomings, that the film has is it is 74-79 minutes , plus I would have loved to see a full soundtrack instead of musical members that last maybe a minute or two.

I read the positive review(s) above and am absolutely astounded that a theater full of people could watch this and think it was funny. Or clever. Mass hysteria? Stoned out of their gourds? Straight?

On a message board, a poster notes that on the DVD extras the Queer Duck creator says that all the participants except one were straight. I don't know if that's true, but it might explain the quality of this film. It feels like some doofus-hipster straight guy's idea of what he thinks is funny about gay life.

Very young children might find this film funny, but it would be inappropriate and they wouldn't understand that it's supposed to be satirical. It would only reinforce whatever stereotypes they've already picked up from the media. Anyone above age 12 or with an IQ over 70--gay or straight--should avoid Queer Duck like the plague.

If the man who made this is gay, I'd say it's an exercise in self-loathing. If he's straight, he's got a bad-, bad-, bad-sitcom sense of humor and a very superficial idea of what it means to be gay.

Gay life can be wickedly, screamingly funny, and it's ripe for laugh-exploitation. How a satire on gay life could be this lame--that's the only word for it--is utterly baffling. This is one of the worst films I've ever seen and undoubtedly the worst animated feature I've ever seen.

This film is the cartoon story of a gay duck, his life, his loves and his adventures. He marries a diva, he tries sexual behavior modification therapy with a Christian fundamentalist, buys an amusement park, and generally lives it up.

That's the general plot, but this film is an absolute riot. Loaded with gags, parody, puns, double entendres, etc. Musical and dance numbers galore. Fabulous guest appearances by the stars we know and love. I laughed until it hurt. There are no words that can adequately describe this film, and all I can really say about it is if you like mad cap humor, this one's for you. NOT a profound statement about the gay experience. And buy the DVD -- you can order it on Amazon.

Guest appearances by Michael, Barbra, Liz, and the usual suspects.

P.S. To Wayne who wrote the pejorative comments about my review: I had absolutely nothing to do with the making of this film, I do not know anyone who made this film, and I have not received any incentives, financial or otherwise, to promote it. I saw it in a packed auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,407. No one walked out during the screening, and most of the audience was laughing as much as I was. I'll admit it's goofy humor, but duh! it's a cartoon.

This just feels very much like a really long episode of an adult cartoon with most of the jokes just being about being gay or straight or shoving a celebrity on screen, most of these jokes not landing very well at all, typical of adult cartoons. The flash animation is terrible but I guess it can be excused since this is just a direct to DVD movie and it is a little better looking from the original series at least in my opinion. Surprisingly, despite all that , the characters are decent enough to watch which is not something you expect from a movie about gay stereotypes. This movie also contains a great amount of musical numbers which it would be better off not including since most of them are so obviously bad that I'm pretty sure they were only added in as a joke about gay people liking musicals.

I enjoyed Queer Duck when it first showed up online. I went into the movie, however, with no expectations that I would even like it that much. I thought it was a fun hour+. The jokes and visual puns are nicely done, and Conan O'Brien played his "role" well. Sadly, many of the celebrity-driven jokes are from a specific time and place, but if you know the context, you'll laugh out loud. The DVD itself is worth watching, including the original internet videos and interviews with the creators and voice actors. All this said, if you're looking for something that speaks to the struggle to be happily gay in a heterosexual world or imparts a greater wisdom, watch "The Life and Times of Harvey Milk" or some other film; this is not for you.

I Bought the DVD because i heard all the rage about this Queer Duck so I went to wal mart and bought it for 14 bucks watched it when i got home and i absolutely loved it from beginning to end. From celebrity jokes to gay jokes the movie was terrific. The voice actors were amazing and Mike Reiss sure does know how to entertain people this is a great movie that has to be bought not rented. It was nice to see Mark Hamill, Tim Curry and David Duchovny doing silly cartoon voices like Tiny Jesus. I Laughed my ass off when i saw this it has to be the best independent film ever made right next to Klay World. so i give this movie 10 stars for great voice acting, great animation, wonderful jokes and terrific music.

I saw the premiere of this film in the nineties at an event.

It is riotously funny.

Really Really see it buy it or stream it. The "Bi Polar Bear" character was making me lose my food, I laughed so hard.

For real.

This was a funny film. Lots of gay jokes, lots of camp funny, some wicked double entendres, easy on the eye, fast paced, enjoyable. MOst of the time watching it I was thinking about other people i knew who would be laughing their asses off too, When you see a film called Queer Duck you can't go in to the experience expecting drama, plot, gritty realising or anything of the sort. It's not CSI. If the very concept of a queer duck doesn't make you smile then you probably won't like this film. Also, and as the maker says, this is a stereotype of homosexuality based on a pretty select demographic - middle aged fags the maker knows. No real plot but a lot of fun and some real laugh out loud moments.
