how disappointing. yes the animation was good but it all occurred at breakneck speed. There was a LOT of scary scenes - it seemed like the family of ducks was constantly escaping from one close call with death - falling out of a plane, getting caught by a knife wielding chef, being "befriended" by a crazy heron... just to name a few... One kid in the theatre was crying. Beyond the death defying escapades there wasn't much humor...
