A 1998 ‘proof of concept’ short featuring a real life duck who transforms into a cartoon superhero, directed by Uli Meyer (who, it will come as no surprise to learn, also worked on Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Space Jam).

Meyer describes the film, scanned from a recently discovered 35mm negative, as ‘too long’.

That being said, you can still appreciate what could have been, but never was.
