Dirty Duck (Unrated)


Dirty Duck (Unrated)
Customer Review: What the hell?
I got this out of curiosity... and all I can think after seeing this is... what the hell was that all about. Overall it's really just pointless and odd... and this is coming from someone that likes oddball movies like Cool World and Wizards. The animation reminds me of old cartoons that where made sometime in the 40s... mabe not... it's not that good. If you have ever seen the realy old show Crusader Rabbit you might have an idea of how the animation is... and that had the excuse of being the first animated show for TV, so the animation couldn't be good, it wasn't in the budget since TV never got that kind of money. This movie don't have that excuse Beware this buy, Friz is better, ether of them, this is just horrid all around.
Customer Review: Why bother?
The best thing about this sad excuse for an underground seventies cartoon is that no one is forcing you to watch it. I mean it's not like a scene from Clockwork Orange where the viewer is strapped in and their eyes propped open with coat hangers. That's the best thing about it. There are a few (maybe four even) moments of humor so crude it's funny but most of it isn't. So much for the movie's good points. The animation is not only amateur it's deliberately lame which would make it a good match for the meandering/scattered writing that tries to pass as plot if such a match up could actually be thought of as desirable. It isn't! The combination teams up to make anyone wonder why they are subjecting themselves to this poorly animated passing of gas. Tiny bits of the musical soundtrack actually might have been turned into something (not sure what) if anyone associated with this project gave a damn which obviously no one did. A couple of reviewers have suggested smoking something fairly pungent before watching Dirty Duck but I'd suggest a much more powerful narcotic. Maybe a half pan of brownies but a proper antidote for this boring animated mess probably lay somewhere in the truly psychedelic category. If you have too much respect for your body to do that then show your mind the same and don't bother with this movie.
