Flick Friday-Quackerz

My daughter loves to watch movies.  She has been going to the movies with us since she was very little.  She is a movie critic at her young age.
Thanks to Shout! Factory for sending our family a sample copy of this movie for us to review.  All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.
 
Synopsis-Many, many, years ago, when the trees were tall, the old ducks had feathers on their heads, and the Sun shone for everybody alike, on a faraway island there lived a Sun Duck whom protected his flock from evil powers threatening from the outside.  The Sun Duck had his loyal guardians who vigilantly supervised the territory and made sure the Sun evenly spread its energy on their flourishing land.  The bliss continued until an Evil Witch learned of the Sun Duck’s superpowers and lost her sleep in an attempt to enslave the magic bird.  One by one she seized the guardians and stole the Sun Duck away for the only sake every living woman would understand: eternal youth and mesmerizing beauty.

Today, nobody believes in old legends, Mandarin ducks peacefully reside on their island and abide by the law that prescribes «no flying on the island!» and «never leave the island!».  The Emperor is the only one who knows that the Legend is true and the next generation Sun Duck has been borne.  He keeps it in strict secrecy, but the Witch also knows the Legend is true and she is coming back for her next victim.


My opinion-We let my daughter watch this movie first.  She was so excited and kept telling us we needed to watch the Sun Duck.  We watched it together and finally got why she was so excited.  This movie took us on a journey.  It was funny.  I liked that it emphasized the importance of family, friendship, teamwork, respect, and acts of generosity and kindness.  She has been watching over and over.

QUACKERZ Two-Disc Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack and DVD contain the following bonus content:

· Behind-the-scene footage
· Animatics

School is out for the summer.  This movie will be available everywhere in stores on June 14.  I recommend it for the entire family.
