Queer Duck: The Movie Trailers

Queer Duck and his partner of 18 months (a lifetime in gay years), Stephen Arlo "Openly" Gator, hit a relationship crisis when the fey fowl is wooed by a brassy Broadway broad. Queer Duck wonders if he'd be happier being straight, while Gator the waiter spills his problems to a compassionate Conan O'Brien.

i saw this on TV late one night and tuned in based on the name alone. i figured with a name like Queer Duck: The Movie it would be a fun movie that didn't take itself to seriously. For it's campy gay humour, it's enjoyable. There are some serious flaws in it however. It starts off fun. The opening sequence is entertaining and the names might make you smirk (Openly Gator, Oscar Wildcat etc...) but after that, it slowly goes downhill. The most irritating thing in the whole movie is the animation. Web cartoon-grade movement where the eyebrows seem to just bounce around at every word while the mouth attempts to match the dialogue (spoiler alert...it never does) The jokes are more miss than hit and one joke is just stolen off an episode of Family Guy (it's like a friend telling the same joke only with added gay animals) All in all, don't bother buying it on DVD but if you see it on TV, you could do a lot worse 3/10

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 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.

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.
