AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
After having his attention diverted by a butterfly, a young duck finds himself separated from the other ducks. He tries following squawking sounds and floating feathers, but they are not from his ducks. Finally he finds missing duck posters and is reunited with his group.
I loved the visual humor as the duck tries to find his group and ends up following false leads. That said, the resolution was so incongruent for me that it took away from the humor. Why is a sign the answer and how did the sign get him to his group?
