Queer Duck: The Movie (2006)


QUEER DUCK: THE MOVIE is a full-length version of Showtime's hilariously irreverent three-minute cartoon series. Written and created by SIMPSONS writer Mike Reiss, the series gleefully parodies gay stereotypes--and homophobic public figures like Dr. Laura and Jerry Falwell--through the Streisand-loving misadventures of a flamingly gay duck (voiced by Jim J. Bullock, TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT) and his fabulous trio of friends: the martini-swilling, smoking-jacketed Oscar Wildcat; the Harvey Fierstein-sounding Openly Gator; and the leather-boyish Bi-Polar Bear (REN & STIMPY's Billy West doing his best Paul Lynde impersonation). In this made-for-video movie, Queer Duck attempts to go straight with the help of a Christian fundamentalist preacher-horse, resulting in a swishy swirl of racy humor and snappy musical numbers replete with guest voices by Tim Curry, Conan O'Brien, Andy Dick, and David Duchovny. Oh my gay stars!
