DUCK DUCK GOOSE (Theatrical Release USA 2018)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.0|5.0 Starsììì

Duck Duck Goose needs a defining message, without overkill. The concept is good, but the message is distorted. The acting vacillates from weak to good. This lack of continuity noticeably affects watchability.

Storyline

The goose, Peng, loses his right to migrate with his flock.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. The film’s animation is good. But, the PG-rating moves the film out of the age range of children who may enjoy it for the animation alone.
