This movie was ahead of its time. Never had I felt such as strong connection as a person with feathers as I had with Howard the Duck. I was born with a rare condition that made me develop some strange, feather-like protuberances from my toes. Thus I consider myself as one with Howard and his plight. This was the right step towards representing people with feathers. Most of all in such a positive way. Those sensual eyelids and duck fingernails finally made me feel at peace with my condition.
