A sarcastic humanoid duck is pulled from his home world to Earth where he must stop an alien invader.
Although several TV adaptations of Marvel characters had aired during the preceding 21 years, this was the first theatrically released feature film, coming after the serial "Captain America". Now, there is an interesting story about how and why that came together, and how this film indirectly created Pixar... but that is all history.
I first saw this film as a child, maybe 12 years old, thanks to my babysitter. It stuck with me pretty well, as even now 25 years later there are scenes that are familiar and jokes that were lodged in my brain. This has "cult film" written all over it. Not good, not bad, but bad enough to be good in a bad way.
